What I am doing is configuring my wife's new machine, and she wants
everything working before she cuts over. I can always tell her to wait on
icq and irc until I put the box back on its own cable modem, but the more I
can get working through IP Masq, then I have a better case for canceling one
of our two cable modem accounts.
