[Opensim-dev] A software to connect its own region and TP in from locally...

[Lc]

I'm sorry to desapoint you, but not all "private" router can do that, even
the recent one.
I got one 6 month ago and it can't do that and of course it was not written
in the box :/

Maybe it will be nice to make a list of known working router.
