If I recall correctly, when I was on AT&T@HOME (as opposed to AT&T Broadband), the VPN was against the AUP. I ignored them, and they ignored me. It was also against the AUP to run any kind of server, but I knew of 2-3 people that were running webservers. I think the AUP is more a thing that they can fall back on if they think you are really abusing the service than something that they actively enforce.
