Thanks to all who responded! I'll probably respond to several of those posts because I didn't mention the other thing I get from NAT--that is, I need only one address from my ISP, and I'm pretty sure my doesn't know how many computers I have behind my NAT gateway.
I guess I'd assume that if someone writes a NAT66, it will give me the same feature, but if that doesn't happen, what are my options?
