[clue-tech] getting a small box to perform * NATP *

[WFT Electronics, Gus Salvatore Calabrese]

It appears to me that very few routers support NATP.  Lots of them
support NAT.  As far as security is concerned, I have adopted an
attitude similar to a deer in the headlights.  So everything is more
"secure" than I think it is.

I looked at the Actiontec and it appears to support NAT ( not NATP )

The cable and dsl modems provided by Comcast/Qwest will do this.  I'd  
guess any "cable/dsl router" would do the same.  The WRT54G almost  
certainly will.

You'd have to check this.  If the box allows source routing through  
it may not be as secure as you think.
