The instructions included in the web page said: "See the messages log
files for details." I guess I was too brief in my hint as to how to do
this.
There may be more than one way to look at the message log depending on
what niceties you have, but the most common way is to log into the router
the same way you configured it, "quit" the menu system, and use the
"more" command to look through the "/var/log/messages" file. Thus, you
would be faced with a command prompt something like
myrouter#
and would enter "more /var/log/messages" and press the "Enter" key to use
the "more" program to view the file.

On its own, not much. It looks like the line at the bottom of the list
that covers everything not specifically ALLOWed by the lines above it.
The message log should have lines indicating a little more detail about
what packets were denied and why.
