Bill,
Good luck on your quest and please share your results with us. The 
WRT54GS is a popular router. BTW, are you using the latest firmware for 
this device? v.1.52.2

Finally, I hope you can pry an answer out of Linksys' tech support. 
Their 'first tier' support is in VU land and if it's not on their 
script, you are done before you start.
