If the DSL router is not able to do H323, there is no way to make it
work.

No. If the router is not able to do NAT on H.323 there is no way.

No way. If you are sure that it doesn't understand H.323, there is no
way. But that is weird, most hardware routers support it. (If it
supports it, just "Accept" the ports you listed above, - no forwarding!
-, disable Tunneling and Fast Start, and forward port 1720 to your
machine. That should work. If not, do a search on Derek Smithies in the
ml, he has an interesting trick).
