FYI: more data. The firewall setting seems to also affect *Inbound*
ports. I had http (80) and ftp (22?) working fine, but was unable to
get ssh (80xx) and webmin/https (100xx) working. Once we reset the
router, they magically started to work. (I had done the "Save and
Reset" after setting up the port forwarding.)

Not a big deal. I have a website visited by a few dozen people a
week. If it's down on Friday night, people ought to be doing
something more useful anyway.
And now it even works better!
