Just continuing this theme of adsl and what is a router....

If you have an asdl router, and a private subnet ie 192.168.x.x, doesnt the
fact that you cant get to the private subnet from the internet act as a
rudimentary firewall?  Surely a pc on the private subnet (in the absence of
port redirection) is safer than a pc with an asdl modem attached directly?
Do I understand that right?
