This is the Scottish Linux Users group isn't it? Just checking. What do you mean they are non-Nat? If you mean that the router they supply won't do Nat - so what! Set up one box to act as a masquerading router for your other machines, or run a proxy on it. If you need to run publicly accessible services on the other machines use port forwarding. Admittedly there are a (ever decreasing) number of services which cannot work in this configuration, but there are a growing number of connection tracking modules which eliminate this problem (e.g. for FTP, irc....anybody know the status of the h323 module?). I suppose if the contract specifically excludes you from using your own NAT routing attached the connection they provide then morally your bound not to use the service (although *technically* it would be nearly impossible for them to find out).
