Some ISPs allowed users to have multiple simultaneous logins,       each of which would get a different IP address. For xDSL, you'd put your modem       into bridge mode, then connect routers or devices to the bridged modem. Each       connected device would do a PPPoE login and get its own IP address (and IPv6       prefix if available).              Another approach is what my ISP offers for an additional $20/month over what I       pay - I can upgrade to "business class" and then have the option of a /29       routed via my connection. I'd need another router to make this compatible with       my current network (I'd setup the /29 as a traditional DMZ outside my main LAN,       which would remain behind NAT, because of the number of decives). But the ISP       charges $20/month ($240/year) on top of what I pay now, but the VPN costs me       $40/year, and is more than adequate for BBSing. If users want better       performance, they can simply go IPv6, which is native. ;)                     ...
