I've only seen them block port 25. You can only run 4 tvs
simultaneously and only 2 of them can be HD. The argument is that how
often do you have more than 2 or 4 tvs on simultaneously?

Yeah, considering that we don't watch much TV, have a perfectly good broadcast signal coming<BR>
from the antenna in the attic for free, and intend to cancel the TV part during the first, month, <BR>
not much of an issue. <BR>
<BR>
Now, do they block port 25 completely, or just to anywhere but their own SMTP servers? Is this <BR>
just a matter of configuring Evolution to send through their servers? And do they allow inbound<BR>
SMTP on port 25 to my postfix server? <BR>

The other Internet issue I had with them is that their equipment is
very unhappy with multiple routers on the network, caused me some
initial grief when we swithched.

Could you elaborate on that? I'll need to stick a Multitech VPN router in between their device and<BR>
my local network. So long as they will give it the fixed IP address it would seem to be ok. I've done<BR>
a little testing with the new DSL circuit and the Motorola seems to be willing to share its WAN address<BR>
with a single device. <BR>
