Another plus for the older Actiontec GT701WG and GT704WG units!  They have 5
levels for the firewall:  OFF, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and CUSTOM.  I run mine at
CUSTOM.  I've been buying up the ones Qwest used for their DSL service for
years at $10 - $20 each just because they are so flexible.

One thing you might try is to telnet to the router then manually insert a rule
via iptables - I've used that for a couple of odd firewall cases just as a test
and it works here.  You'll lose that on a re-boot but I only boot the routers
once in a blue moon anyway.
