Using Windows 2003 server and an additional dial-up modem, I can configure my system so that I can call my home directly from someone else's machine, point to point, and then connect out onto the internet through the shared cable connection.

You'll pay more in the long run trying to have your "own ISP" rather than paying about 5-10 years of payments.
To be your own ISP you would literally have to be AN ISP. Do you have any idea how much this costs? Over $5,000/month not counting the equipment. Just the CISCO AS5300 is about $30,000 (which is what we use -- I work for an ISP). Not counting lots of other hardware you would need.
There's really nothing to check out.

I guess really that ISPs themselves also have ISPs. You are always going to be paying someone somewhere to connect to what they have so that you are conncted at all.

There was a thread somewhere on the net speaking of techniques ISPs have found to be able to count how many different machines are used behind a router with NAT ... if you want it, i can look at some places for it

To be honest, any time I call NTL (cable modem ISP) I am shocked and surprised by how little even their engineers know.
