Qworst DSL Modem

[Joe Crown]

The DSL Modem/router has a pool of 2 IP addresses.  It is a 192.168.*.* 
address range.  The stupid piece of crap has been super-netted to use 
255.255.255.252 for the subnet mask IIRC.

I remember my neighbor has one.  He found a firmware update to make it 
configurable.  You just need to find that firmware & a jumper then you 
can flash the worthless firmware they ship with it.  Don't ask me where 
to get it because I don't have a copy, & my neighbor moved so I don't 
know if I could find it again.  I think he found the upgraded firmware 
using google.
