[NMLUG] Port Forwarding with ActionTec DSL modem



I set one of these up for a non-profit in Roswell.  I found excellent 
documentation on the modem on Qwest's web site via Google.

Unfortunately, I never made the time to set up port forwarding, which 
would be nice, since it would allow me to check in on his systems 
without having to go by.
