ADSL Device

Howdy all,

is there such a device which supports port forwarding. Other then a Linux
machine. I am looking to purchase an ADSL modem (or whatever they are
called) but i would like to have one that supports port forwarding.

my reason: i have a linux machine (which is broken down) which i want to use
as a mail server. the ADSL device needs to be able to forward packets
destern for port 110, 25 and 80 to the linux machine when its up and
running. however, i still want my win machine to surf the net as normal.

If there is such a device, whats the cost involved. im only doing this for
self learning reasons and dont want to spend any large amount of money. a
second hand device would be good.

if this can't be done then i geuss i will just use the linux machine with
another ethernet card.

Thanks,

Andrew Galdes
