   Into the red port labeled "Internet" on the back of the router.  Worked   
   like a charm since I got the modem.

   Wrong.  They tried to foist that off on me but I didn't let them get   
   away with it.

   So do I, which is why I went with that when I switched from DSL.

   I'd eventually have had to go with Plan B anyway.  When was the last   
   time you saw a new laptop with Firewire or the ability to add it?   
   That's the only way you can transfer video from an XL1s without a   
   digital-to-analog conversion.   
      
   That said, I may see if it anyone can do anything for it sometime.   
   Still have a sentimental attachment to it.  Got anyone in mind?

   Again, from what I'm seeing I don't need to do this since the router   
   itself is acting as the FTP server.  It looks like if I do end up adding   
   an external device like a Raspberry PI as a server, I WILL have to   
   forward port 21 to it.

   Both.

   Again, both.   
      
   Thanks once more for trying to help.
