Isnt it time we differentiated between a home surfer who 99.9% of the
time never needs to access his home machine from outside and in fact
may be happy that others cant access his "always-on" machine, and
those who need a real IP address to host some service or other?
Seems that for the paltry $39/m for a T1 speed cable access, I
shouldn't deserve a dedicated IP address inlcuded.
IMHO,
jon.
