When you forwarded the port, did you say which internal ip address needed the forwarded port? That modem does have a telnet interface, but I don't know how to use it. As far as changing dsl modems, qwest will say no you can't but I've seen on the web people claiming you just need the vpi and vsi numbers that qwest.net uses and to put them in the modem's setup. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.
