If Telus says it is possible, then they should either have the documentation to do so, or be able to walk you through configuring it. I have a hard time believing that a router a telecommunications company provided would not support port forwarding.

Yeah, that is what I figured too.
But the Telus guy I talked too today when I asked what modems they use along with some documentation on them to see if they had port forwarding features or a DMZ said that none of that stuff was necessary.
I tried to explain to him why it wouldn't work but he kept insisting that by default without any configuration, if remote access is setup on a 3rd party device behind the modem/router than you should be able to get in from the outside without configuring the modem/router in any way.
After I asked him 3 times and him telling me each time that it should work I figured that ADSL modem/routers might be in bridge mode or something by default.
