When I got my own house, I had learned about the reasons I might want to
have a door on the front of it, and locks on that door, and when someone
knocked, why I might want to know who it was before I opened the door,
many many years before I was even old enough to pay for a house let alone
live in one on my own. Many ISP's provide NO information about dialup /
cable / DSL security. The need to enucate customers is increasing as they
are being given static ip's and high speed, unrestricted access to those
connections. To claim that one has made a choice like the one above is
misleading. True customers that connect their unsecured home machines to a
dsl router have made a choice, but they have not been educated as to what
they have chosen.
