[Ham-Computers] Question about email and DSL

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The same is true of Compuserve and (I presume) of AOL (full headers).  I 
"think" that if you use a cable or DSL modem and sit behind a router what shows up 
when you click the Details button is either the router or the modem.  At 
least when I send myself an email from my RoadRunner account to my Compuserve 
account, the local machine's IP is not in the header.
