I too used to use portsentry when I was using my linux server as a
router/firewall as well as it's other duties.  But like you, I found the
linksys routers and started using those and have since.

But what are you referring to with the dd-wrt?  Open source program to
replace the linksys program in the router (I have read briefly on this
in the past)?  Something else?  (some reason, I feel like an idiot right
now hehe)
