hi,
actually those rules are very regional. In Rochester it is not against the
AUP to run web servers, ftp, game servers ... etc. That is of course,
assuming you are not doing anything illegal. If you are taking up to much
bandwidth, they will throttle your modem. Period. (having worked there, i
know how they operate)
but i did look up the business rates (when i worked there they hadnt started
offering business service yet) and they wanted roughly $700 a month for the
same service i get now. sorry, that i will not do.

That was one of the reasons given, which I and many other RR people think is
bogus.
It is illegal for non-business account users to use servers of any kind and
if they find out you are (hardly a difficult task), they will terminate your
service. It's in the terms and conditions.
The real reason...It's down to money folks.
Basic service is $49.95p/m, $39.95p/m if you have their cable service.
To open up the mail server port 25, they will charge you an extra $79.95p/m.
Want to run a mail, web & ftp server, it's an extra $249.95p/m.
In fact, I'm looking into DSL to run some stuff, which I'll mention on some
of Dan's lists, once I put on my firesuit and anchor the chains down :-)
