The routers I've used I don't think are available anymore.
DLink DI-704, Motorola BR700, and an Inexq IS050T. So you can
see how new ones would compare to those. Like I said in my
last post, those are pretty basic broadband routers and were
cheap, so any decent router should give you the same ability.
As to the exact answer to your question, I don't know what
that's called, maybe Ben would know. Below is a paste from the
PDF manuals of the DLink and Motorola:
DLink DI-704
1.1 Functions and Features
! Broadband modem and IP sharing
Connects multiple computers to a broadband (cable or DSL) modem
or an Ethernet router to surf the Internet.
! Auto-sensing Ethernet Switch
Equipped with a 4-port 10/100Mb auto-sensing Ethernet switch.
! VPN supported
Supports multiple PPTP sessions and allows setup of a VPN
server and VPN clients.
! Firewall
All unwanted packets from outside intruders are blocked to
protect your Intranet.
! DHCP server supported
All of the networked computers can retrieve TCP/IP settings
automatically from the DI-704.
! Web-based configuring
Configurable through any networked computer's web browser using
Netscape or Internet Explorer.
! Access Control supported
Allows you to assign different access rights for different
users.
! Virtual Server supported
Enables you to expose WWW, FTP and other services on your LAN
to be accessible to Internet users outside of your LAN.
! User-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel
User can define the attributes to support the special
applications requiring multiple connections, like Internet
gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and so on, then
the DI-704 can sense the application type and open a multi-port
tunnel for it.
! DMZ Host supported
DMZ Host fully exposes a networked computer to the Internet.
Use this feature when the special application sensing tunnel
feature does not allow an application to function properly.
------------------------------------------------
Motorola BR700
4-port Full Duplex 10/100 Ethernet Switch and Router
Enables connection of up to 4 PCs. The routing function enables
each of your networked PCs to share files and printers as well.
Firewall and NAT Protection
Protection against Internet intruders is crucial and the
built-in
Firewall will protect you. Of course, the product also supports
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections through the firewall,
allowing you the freedom to connect when you need it.
Also supported are the NAT and MAC filtering protocols, giving
you the choice to share your Internet connection with only
those
whom you designate.
Your Motorola Ethernet Broadband Router BR700 protects and
connects you by sharing your files, Internet connection,
printers and
multi-player games, all in one great unit.
Features
The BR700 has the following features:
! CD-ROM based Installation Wizard to provide easy installation
! Web-based configuration of features using any web browser
! Firmware upgrade to stay current with latest specifications
! Firewall protection with NAT translation, IP and MAC address
filtering
! A built-in DHCP server to easily configure a private Local
Area Network (LAN)
! Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through allowing remote
connection with your corporate network
End.

This will be my last question, Ben.
What feature should I look for in a router's specifications
that will allow any port to be opened by the user?
Thanks again,
Tom
