Yes, they can, and they will... Here's why: some systems (cable) are set up with (much) more bandwidth in downstream (TO the enduser) than upstream (FROM) the enduser. So, if the enduser sets up a (web)server, this creates a lot of upstream-traffic, which the provider doesn't want. -- Noel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
