  Of course. I see now that the terminology varies, and there are
  not a discrete set of features. So we have dd-wrt system that is
  open source, I've looked at that a bit. Enough to know that it is
  very attractive. There is open-wrt, which I have not yet begun to
  research. My brother tells me that one of his routers has the
  ability (out-of-box) to reserve an IP address to a single machine,
  once it has been connected and the IP provided and that is good
  enough for me, although I do like the ability to map MAC, IP,
  *and* host together. It seems like that would be the
  out-of-the-box standard before long.

  thanks
