Ok, I have a Linksys WRT54G Router. I want to use CQPhone
(www.cqphone.com) on all four of my LAN PC's depending on
which PC Im on at the moment. This client/server software
uses UDP Ports 24960,24961 and 24962.

Everything I have researched so far only covers using one PC
on a router (using Port Forwarding).

Any and all input appreciated!
Tony
