Which would explain why the system admin at my former employer got a call at 2AM to remove a virus 
infected PC from the T-3.  The loser PC Tech that is still there, was attempting to test a new OS 
image.  He never did believe in patching Winders w/ the latest and updating virus prot. software on 
fresh machines.  Thought it was a good idea to drop this baby in the server rack on a Friday 
afternoon before going home.  I can't tell this story enough.  

Guys like this are part of the problem when they should be part of the solution.

IMO service providers should be happy when people put their stuff behind 
a NAT device, even if they do use a little more bandwidth.  A couple of 
computers protected behind a SOHO firewall will cause far fewer 
bandwidth headaches than a single virus/spam vector sitting directly on 
an exposed connection.
