My girlfriend discovered this when she mentioned to tech support that
she was running a web server. She runs it to share photos with friends
and family, so it's extremely low-traffic. Her connection immediately
went out and stayed out for the rest of the day. However, they haven't
blocked port 80 or anything... maybe it was just a coincidence? A very
unlikely one?

I have no idea if you can use an existing modem. I think the one they
sell you is just part of the "start-up" fee. In any case, it's a darn
sight better than renting for $10/month of whatever Sympatico charges.

No static IP, that's correct. I just use a free dynamic DNS solution.
My router has a built-in client but most providers have a Perl script
or a Linux binary.
