I used it as a quickie a couple of times while I was trying to get a port forwarding issue cleared up because Qwest would assign a new IP to the modem every time I rebooted which screwed up the test link. I'm too cheap to go the dyndns route so keeping everyone in the loop becomes an issue when the modems play musical chairs ;-) -- Will Honea
