You don't sound like you are very security conscious [yet].  If you do
this - you will be in violation of you AUP on MediaOne, or Charter and you
WILL be hacked in short order.  Whoever hacks you will certainly do
something to get notice of people you don't want to notice you :)  Get DSL
and a good firewall book.
