Um, actually, my new D-Link 713 Wireless does have a DMZ (to one host at
the moment, bu still), in addition to static IP via DHCP, port
forwarding, MAC filtering, RS-232 support (so I can plug in a modem and
use that as a backup device), PPTP (if you need to use that instead of
PPPoE), and a print server.

My former linux firewall is now a internal samba/nfs server, and the
backup, in case I need to bring down the DLink at any point.
