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.

| Yeah, I can do that.
How does the cable modem notify your box when the cable provider
reboots the service and you get a new IP (or are they allocated
statically, thereby bypassing the problem)? In order to update DNS,
IPv6 tunnels and such when the link goes up and down, I need to know
about those changes.
