I would not describe myself as a "power member", but I've put in a bit
of extra effort to make things easy for myself. My bandwidth is
modest, 256kbps upstream, but I run my ADSL modem in "bridge mode" and
use a real computer for firewall and NATting. Moreover, I run ntpd on
that firewall, so the NTP packets don't need to be NATted.
It's really not so difficult.
I know that "bridge mode" is not available on some ADSL modems, but it
might be interesting to see if it can be faked, i.e. set up a static
NAT for all packets, directing them to the "real" firewall/NAT box.
Cheers,
