If my line of reasoning is reasonable I       could setup a tunnel to a reflashed router with a public IP which would then       service the IP's in use here. I have a router provided by my service provider       that I am better off not messing with. I think I might have an older LinkSys       router that I could use for testing different ideas. I may not be totally on       the mark with my thinking "Yet" but I am working on it. :-)              Jeff              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Fidonet: The Ouija Board - Anoka, MN -bbs.ouijabrd.net (1:282/1031)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 2 16/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 116/18 120/331 123/130       SEEN-BY: 123/131 128/2 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 229/354 426 1014 230/0 150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 250/1 261/38 100 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5006 5555 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/854 298/25 26 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 340/400 342/13 200 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 770/1 801/189 2320/105 2452/250 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 282/1031 261/38 320/219 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
