   I suspect not.  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. ;)
