I remember that for a while Cox would come out and help you setup your 
"home network" if you had a hub and wanted to pay $5 extra per month 
for every additional computer (read: IP) that you wanted on "the Net".  
People like us (or highly intelligent robotic dogs that when they bark 
shoot bees from their mouths) can just use a home router (i.e. linksys, 
dlink, smc) and save some money.  I also cloned my router MAC address 
to that of an old 3Com ISA NIC I have in the kitchen.  On a related 
note, if you only have one of their services, it will cost you an extra 
$10 a month!  What is up with that?
