You have no argument from me here, I agree with you 100% but being that this was my
first DSL ISP and that back in early 1999, all the other ISP's that were both
affordable and could provide static IP's were running in bridging mode; this was in
Phoenix and the original ISP was Inficad.
Yes, Inficad knew about this, but they stated that this was how US Worst and sent
the central hubs. I stress with them that I could monitor and see traffic from
dozens of other people and that I personally didn't want my traffic peeked at.
Their response was that they had a third hub on order and that they were going to
experiment with reconfiging that over to routing. They never did this prior to my
departure.

Cisco 675 and please note that this only occured with an ISP that required bridging
mode and the monitoring was not being done on the router, but the Linux box that
did my masqing and filtering.

Perhaps the problem was the ISP, maybe it was US Worst. I do not know, but I do
know that they problem went away when I switched to an ISP that supported
routing...
