I am not inclined to react so strongly. In general I am happy when the ISP provides its customers with default save settings. It is best for most people, I think.

Perhaps the rsync port 873 should have been opened by default in the firewall, because I suspect more and more people will use it to backup their data over the internet. 

But in general I can live with changing the modem settings temporarily, because I am updating the ConText minimals infrequently only.
