Hmmm, I was wondering why AT&T finally raised my CPE (how many devices it
will allow or learn) value on my cable modem from 1 to 7 and then sent me
email asking if I wanted to add more computers to my account, for a fee of
course.

I'll stick with the added protection of my NAT'd router rather than pay them
more to not provide any form of security when I add a future box..
