DD-WRT and Cox-- any warnings?

[Lisa Kachold]

Expect script kiddies to nmap scan large blocks of IP's for open ports.
  If you send email to/from ANY security lists or interact with any persons of great curiosity and technical ethics, be certain to employ an iptables type firewall that says:
   
  1) I will allow telnet/ssh to/from $IPLIST
  2) If you attempt to multicast or packet spoof or exploit DNS tunnelling, I will likewise bit bucket you.
   
  These 20 line iptable examples are readily available.
   
  Remember, I am a 50+ year old woman -- I can brute force your ssh/telnet in about 15 minutes.

As it turned off, it was something else. Not wanting to consider it a 
write-off, I installed the new DD-WRT v24 firmware on it.

However, before I drop it in (replacing a second-hand stock firmware 
Linksys WRT54G which I'm powering off a 12v laptop brick I'm really 
coveting for another project) I'm wondering if there are any settings I 
need to adjust to avoid offending the local ISP (in my case, Cox) -- I 
assume that the 'info page' and 'remote management' features might 
count as forbidden 'servers' to them, so I already turned them off, but 
what else?

It's nice having something I can telnet into (since I don't spend 
enough time at a putty window at work)
