    I wouldn't worry about NAT til you find a DSL provider that meets your
    needs - possibly a tough thing to do in today's environment. None of the
    DSL providers that get talked about around here ( ~~ ASSUMING ~~ they're
    still in business) have NAT limitations. Static IP limits are another
    story if you only want to spend $50/mo.
