I don't know if my modem/router combo has this - it probably does - but
I thought I'd add such a rule to my firewall anyway. But my firewall
doesn't seem to list "SMB" among the protocols I can select - it offers
the following choice:
        Any
        TCP
        UDP
        UCP and UDP
        ICMP
        Other
Only the TCP and UDP ones let me specify a port. Other produces a box,
but I get an error beep if I try to type SMB into it - I _think_ I can
only type numbers into that.
(Firewall is KPF 2.1.5 FWIW.)
