Unless that modem/gateway is under the control of the ISP, in which case
you're fundamentally inviting your ISP onto your local network, IOW into
your private home.
[ Tho, of course, you can probably arrange to confine that "local
network" such that it's only connected to a single other machine which
you do control and which you use as your own local router. ]
