rogers modem upgrade / port 25

[Jon Thiele]

Just to clarify...  Port 25 is only blocked on residential lines - not on
their business accounts...

I went thru this modem upgrade (change/fix/...) about two years ago when
I was still with Rogers. I was having a lot of dropping of sync, etc.
Was totally transparent once I went thru their setup dialog with the
tech to get their system to recognize the new modem (serial number,
etc.). Don't remember if the IP addr changed. 

Pretty well everybody is blocking port 25 now.
