And I guess that cable modem also does NAT or something equivalent?
The whole reason why I want said DSL card is so I can do stuff like
bringing up IPv6 tunnels properly, update DNS and also have a real,
non-broken packet filter.  The provider-provided router doesn't
provide any of this, and doing it through that would be painful, if at
all possible.
