Each router will have a user manual that will explain how to configure
it for these types of services. All you have to do is browse to the
vendors site (before you purchase it), download the user manual, see if
it does what you want, then purchase it if it does.

Another thing is to ask people if their router/NAT supports Messenger. I
never use it, and block it on my network, so I can't say.

It would also be nice if you followed the usenet norm of posting at the
bottom of a thread so that people can read it like any other document -
new content at the bottom please.
