Ya man... let the ISP do
the job. They are insured for both negligence &
downtime. Once you change the configs (as poor as they may
seem), they will, can, & do refuse service (& support). If
you feel like your ISP is hindering your business, then you should shop around
(UUNET, PSINet, MindSpring, & SpeakEasy are all very good ISP's for
business/ Ecommerce)...
