I'm coming into this conversation late and missed some earlier messages.
(I suffered from itchy trigger finger syndrome and deleted them too
quickly.)
I need to establish VPN connectivity to a branch office where no DSL
service is available, but Charter offers service there. Assuming, just
hypothetically you understand, that (1) I might be willing to violate
Charter's AUP, and (2) I have established that consumer-grade
connectivity is okay for my application, then is there a problem running
a gateway-to-gateway IPSEC tunnel on consumer-grade Charter service? How
thorough is Charter's packet filtering?
I'll probably end up with business grade service anyway because I don't
want to risk service interruption if Charter figures out what is
happening, but if I didn't ask about the nature of the limitations then
I'd have to turn in my geek card.

By that token, Charter is a child company of Microsoft because
it is
controlled by Paul Allen. Charter bought a portion of AT&T's
cable
network in 2001 (and sold a portion of their network to AT&T in
another
part of the country). It appears that beyond that one-time
transaction,
AT&T and Charter have nothing in common.
Don't get me wrong, all companies are still evil... I just
wanted to
clear that up.
