I came across one ADSL modem/router that goes out of its way to help
incoming connections through its NAT.  Designed for all those people who
like gaming and webcamming, etc.  It does its very best to route all
incoming connections though, without any care.  Whereas most other ADSL
modem/routers, even without a firewall, just ignore unexpected incoming
connections when they're set up for NATing.
