Antechamber has several ways of estimating atomic partial charges. If you
want to use the RESP procedure, Gaussian is required. Other tools for this
purpose exist (such as R.E.D., http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/) that
interface with a wider variety of quantum chemistry programs.

This allows you to modify the route section of the Gaussian input file that is
created. You could equally well do that with a text editor.
