Insofar as guys who "barely know what a TCP SYN is" are unlikely to twist the knobs, defaulting filtering to "block spoofed addresses" seems like the best and maybe only way to get them to do it.
If we can get config instructions for all the popular NAS boxes like Ascend, Livingston, USR etc. posted to a web page somewher then we can get the word out to a lot of ISP's via the 7 or 8 ISP mailing lists, Boardwatch magazine and USENET. But for the benefit of those maginally clueful people out there we need to have some fairly explicit instructions. I know ra.net has an ISP section on their WWW server and it wouldn't hurt to point more ISP's at www.ra.net anyway.
