Or find somebody who's willing and able to set up apache's
mod_rewrite rules to redirect incoming port 80 on their machine
to another port on your machine that verizon's not blocking.

It could also be done with a redirect, but mod_rewrite shouldn't
require setting up any html at all.

On the other hand, port 80 blocking on most broadband accounts
would have eliminated the ``Code Red'' and ``Nimbda'' attacks.
