| Yup, got it at Best Buy. Wanted immediate gratification and Amazon was close enough in price that I decided to go local. I actually replaced a Zyxel 660HW with this Actiontec. Hrm. I just threw out the box for the Actiontec thinking that I'd found The One. DOH.
I guess in the US, the product was called P-663H-51 though on Zyxel's site it doesn't look like they sell DSL modems anymore? Oh no wait, it's under "Service Provider" instead of "Business" or "Consumer". Yeah, ok.
I don't really need two ADSL interfaces as my old Zyxel only had 1 and did 1-to-1 NAT just fine. And doing a search, I don't see Best Buy selling any Zyxel, nor Micro Center, nor Newegg (they have a bunch of ZyWALL stuff, but no DSL modems). I guess I could get another 660HW for around the same price as the Actiontec ($80 or so) off of Amazon. The 663H is like $250 and I'd be paying for features I wouldn't use.
Still, I'm pleased enough with the Actiontec so would love to know how to tweak it to do what I want, if at all possible. I'm thinking it'll be something on the CLI, if it's possible. I guess if push comes to shove I can just port forward all http to the machine I want to host a website off of and just change my external IP or the DNS to point to where I need it to. Would be inelegant, though.

I would be looking for a high performance dual WAN ADSL 2+ router. The Zyxel P 663 H comes to mind.
