Another item I forgot to mention earlier was the license agreement with
Flashcom is a bit weird. It plainly states no NAT servers. Yet the
sales guy and the service agreement say I could hook up 2 systems. I'm
not quite sure how to connect with only one IP address assigned and not
able to use a NAT server. Most folks on usenet feel that Flashcom is so
inept they don't even know what to look for to identify a NAT server.
No one has reported they have had their service shutdown due to running
a NAT server.
My service has worked flawlessly (knock on wood) since it finally
started to work last month but, there has to be companies out there that
offer ADSL in Nashua.
