I'm exploring switching my ISP provider to CenturyLink.  I test my 
firewall with ShieldsUP!  Unfortunately, the heavy majority of "stealth" 
ports using my current provider display as "closed" using CenturyLink.  
Does anyone have experience with CenturyLink/ShieldsUP! and 
CenturyLink's modem settings?

I hope it's appropriate posting this question here.  It's perhaps not 
technically a Linux question but I am using Linux and iptables.
