[olug] Local internet access.

[Nathan D. Rotschafer]

Qwest has stopped supporting the 678.  Althought with those a static NAT was
possible in a similar manner as in IOS.  Now they send out Actiontec G701 or
something like that.  These are nice devices with web configuration for a
"DMZ" host that would allow you VPN to work fine (at least it did for me).
This device also has built-in 802.11g...yes g.  This makes it a great
addition for high speed wireless.
