So if I was to buy an ethernet MODEM it would be like the internet was directly connected to the ethernet card in the PC? Would all the ports be forwarded so I could access the pc from the internet?

an ethernet 'modem'? you mean a cable or dsl 'modem' im assuming?

technically they are not really modems. more like an intelligent or media bridge, sort of...

anyways, assuming the ISP you hook up to supports the device you purchace [check with them first!!] and you get a public IP address [one not on the 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0 --> 172.31.0.0, or 192.168.0.0 private ips] you should have a pc thats directly attached to the internet. so yes.

from my cable modems i can access FTP, ssh, etc from work. you may need a way to keep track of your IP address. most ISPs use DHCP ip addressing. so if your ip changes, you need a way to track it down. might want to look into a dynamic dns service for this.
