- many ISPs, especially cable modem, have annoying policies that say you can't run a server at home. But many don't.
Right. Often, this is due to a combination of technology limitations -- with DSL, upstream and downstream bandwidths are tradeoffs; with cable modems, limited upstream bandwidth is inherent in the technology -- coupled with an obsolete model that assumes that consumers mostly download. Besides, if you can charge more for business service, why not...? --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
