intelligent iptables gui's

Hi;
I've been watching the iptables threads, hoping I'd find some clues as
to how to go about carving a hole a few port numbers wide for
bittorrents use.
As I also have an external router, a linksys BESFR41, I'd probably
have to setup something in it also, and that seems fairly clear, but
I've never been able to get a torrent going through it. My iptables
rules ATM are fairly bulletptoof, (you cannot see me from the
internet other than a closed identd port) so my question is this:
Do any of these iptables gui front ends have a preset option to output
a pre-canned ruleset that will pass the torrent, but still maintain a
reasonable level of security outside this open port range that the
torrent needs?

Cheers, Gene
