Thanks. That WRG614v8 qualifies for dd-wrt, but isn't listed in openwrt,
so I'll look into dd-wrt. My befvp41 just died (actually the upgraded
firmware (Ver.1.02.06.3) is crap and I can cause warm reboots at will,
so I'm temporarily using the WRG614v8 as the primary with a MR8114v2
(flashed to v3 so I can use WPA). I'll hold off trying dd-wrt on the
WRG614v8 until I get a new wired VPN router to replace the befvp41.
