When configuring my router a couple of days ago, I found that my ISP, Verizon FIOS, has a drop down menu for one step configuration of your router/firewall for online gaming. The drop down menu contains a long list of specific games and servers. To my surprise, SFC was on the list. To my further surprise, the one step configuration for SFC actually worked, and without issue. I found this interesting, as wall as a little surprising. If FIOS were a longstanding service, I could see the settings being in there as a holdover, but FIOS has not been around that long, certainly not long enough to have been in service when SFC was in its prime.
Anyway, a bit of positive news (at least for me) on a dull day.
