If it was still a virgin at 4 months, what exactly was that ISP's name (and 
problem)?

FWIW, I do not run any firewalls on my local network.  All the firewall I 
have needed for the last 2 or 3 years has been in my router. No one has 
gotten through it that I did not give the passwd to.  I used to watch the 
logs, but watching a Chinese or N. Korean source spend 16 hrs at a time 
trying to crack it got boring.  No the router is not a commercially sold 
router. ;-)
