I recently ran one of those internet based firewall testers on both my Ami
(Ariadne-II) and pee sea. My Ami running MiamiDX did not reveal it's MAC
address, whereas the pee sea did. If they are requiring your MAC, you may
have a problem. My DSL does not seem to require it. I'm curious because
I was thinking of switching to cable.
