Do they provide router-modems in bridge mode to install own routers/firewalls. According my information they didn't! From a security point this is for me the main reason to stay with SIXXS. And I am on SIXXS now for nearly 5 years and most of the time using OpenBSD based HW. So I'm interested how a DS/DS light configuration looks like for LinuX/*BSD in addition. Unfortunately UNM is the only provider in my area approx. 25 km away from Stuttgart and nearly less then 5 km from Ehningen where we have one of the DC of IBM. Who from other countries in Europe can share her/his experience with cable providers from a local perspective. We may need additonal information for letters to be written to our local ISPs and to adress this to local politicians and local government. And many thanks to SIXXS for a brilliant service provisioned for the last years! Requested prerequesites given I would change immediately. Thomas
