Does it do port forwarding?  Can I use it to be able to ssh into home, ftp
into home, and maybe even run a www server from home?  I'm told port
forwarding is needed for those tasks, but I don't know if that is all.

If I strictly just wanted NAT, I'd purchase the $50 software upgrade for
the modem.
