That is only if you were a RoadRunner subscriber and now are with Cox. 
 We are currently being grandfathered.  From the what I have heard from 
Cox is that by the first of next year everyone will have to pay $6.95 
for each additional IP address.

If you were to subscribe to Cox Cable now (new customer) you would only 
be allowed one IP address.

Best Buy had 4-port D-link routers for $39 with a $10 mail-in rebate. 
 Or like Stephen said, build one of your own.  If you got an old pc and 
(2) 3com NIC cards that your not using.  Or Rick could set you up with 
one for $50 +tax.
