Just as long as consumer ISPs don't start filtering *110* inbound from the net... as AT&T used to. I had a client move from dialup to cablemodem about 10 years ago... and it took us a *week* to get AT&T to admit they didn't accept inbound POP pickups. Client (intemperately) had printed the att.com email address of lots of crap -- they had to keep the dialup for a long time, since at&t wouldn't forward either...
