I prefer that the cable company NOT attempt to "protect" me. I have
americast cable and they decided that they need to block access to port 23
and 53 (among others) for my own "protection". I have a firewall in place
to protect myself thank you and their "security" does nothing to protect
me against other cablemodem customers anyway.
