It would make sense to have a standardised protocol, so you could just enter a URL, username and password. That way any provider could offer it as a service without custom support in each router. I think RFC 2136 may support this, but it's fairly complex and needs a separately defined method of authentication, so it's no wonder home routers don't let you set this up. http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2136.txt http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2136.txt
