It at least supports a configurable UDP Port range, which seems to work.. 
somehow.

After I now burned another 5 hours, I'm quite sure that the router is just 
plain crap. It works (as in giving at least a picture) one way (remote 
calling me) but not the other way around. At the moment.
Earlier, it worked, giving speech as well as video me calling the remote side 
and the remote side calling me. Ethereal, now running on both ends, tells me 
that the whole UDP traffic (when I'm calling) is somehow silently discarded. 
As it did work from time to time, I think that the router just has decided to 
discard UDP traffic at the moment, or whatever, some magic I can not 
influence. 
I can't find any other explanation.
Netmeeting still doesn't react when being called.
Any other way than starting to patch different firmwares onto the route would 
be highly appreciated.

Have fun,
 Marcus
