[Charlug] Router Config Issue

[Don Parris]

Thanks Jason.  A co-worker pointed that out.  In fact, those are the only
outgoing ports open from my job.  I can't do much til I get back home, but
the box is probably the script kiddies' favorite right now. :-(  I was just
happy to have gotten through for once.  Anyway, I'll do that ASAP.  The
OpenVPN setup is going to be a 450MHz box running Debian Etch (Just
installed).  Bear with me, I'm learning.
