i'm guessing you're talking about the inconvenient way some Cable/DSL
ISPs block incoming connections on common server ports (25, 80)?

usually this is only a real annoyance because you can't set up a mail
server for your incoming SMTP email. if you have access to an outside
Internet server, and you run postfix on it -- you can route incoming
mail through the outside server, and using the postfix transport table
forward the mail to a sendmail or postfix instance running on a high
port on your internal server. works great!

...or like you said, just don't use that ISP :)
