Well, my residential clients (small business clients too), sign a Usage Policy for
their bandwidth that says in part they won't run servers of any kind (mail, etc.)
without prior approval. When Kazaa installs on a Windoze box on my network, I know
immediately because I see lots of external connections inward sucking up all the
bandwidth. By default, Kazaa installs itself as a server (and apparently is telling
the mothership it can see 11Mb of bandwidth -- that would be the wireless card) and
the entire world descends. Ditto for napster, et. al. Then the lusers complain when
I cut them off or block incoming/outgoing on the Napster/Kazaa/etc. ports.
