I'll attest to that. I run a SmoothWall router/firewall which integrates
all the major dynamic dns clients and updates every time its IP changes,

signed up last June, same modem, and using the same NIC.
BTW, Cox likes to call their service Cox.net now, to seperate themselves
from the old @Home network.
