Huh? This has been the case for some time, as has the blocking of
incoming requests to port 80. It may be that it wasn't rolled out to
your area of town, but it certainly was rolled out in the central
Phoenix area (85008 zip code) some time ago. I remember when my sendmail
started being blocked. I shrugged, set the forwarder in my sendmail.cf,
no big freakin' deal. 

You might want to look into DSL if you want more services than Cox
provides. Be aware that you *will* pay for it. badtux.net and assorted
sites (mtx.badtux.net, ftp.badtux.net, news.badtux.net, etc.) is running
off of a 512kbit up/down DSL via QWEST DSL-Pro and FastQ.com ISP, which
is currently running around $120 per month including 6 usable static IP
addresses. You can do anything you want with it though, including
running a web site, an FTP server, etc.
