OK, where does that put this device, my ADSL modem- ENDSL-A2+4R2:

Security
‧ PPP over PAP (Password Authentication Protocol; RFC1334)
‧ PPP over CHAP (Challenge Authentication Protocol; RFC1994)
‧ DoS Protection
‧ Stateful Packet inspection (SPI)
‧ Built-in NAT Firewall
‧ IP Based packet filtering
‧ Password Protected System Management

it says "Built-in NAT Firewall. Is that JUST NAT, or is that a real 
firewall??
