and just in case anyone was interested, from the acceptable use
policy:
flat rate plans:
(no making money without telstra also making (more) money)
5.2 Flat rate plans are intended for residential or home use only. You
must not use the Service for predominantly business or commercial
purposes.
(no children allowed)
5.3 You must not permit any person, other than adult members of your
hosehold or other with your express permission and under your personal
supervision, to use the Service.
(no networks !)
5.5 Subject to clause 5.6, you must not connect another network, such
as a local area network, to the Service or allow multiple simultaneous
users of the Service. You may connect only one computer to the Service
at any one time and must not in any circumstatnces connect servers
which transmit data to the internet or cable network, such as ftp
servers and chat servers.
(remote logins? a mail server? looks like the "eula squad" have
another few meetings ahead)
(.. unless you give us more money)
5.6 Where our Service offering provides an option to acquire multiple
simultaneous user rights for an additional fee and you select this
option, then you may connect the number of multiple users to the
Service as authorised under this offering, provided that you pay us
the additional fee in respect of all such users and such users only
use the Service for residential or home use, and not for a
predominantly business or commercial purposes[sic].
volume based plans:
6.2 You may use the Service for business or home use.
6.4 You may connect a local area network to the Service.
one of the other interesting points:
2.2 You must not use the Service, or allow anyone else to use the
Service:
(k) to breach any laws or infringe any third party rights (including
without limitation, copyright) or to breach any standards, content
requirements or codes promulgated by any relevant authority or
industry body
in other words, you may not violate an RFC. so html mail, MSHTML,
using outlook as an IMAP client, etc are all bannable offences ;)
(lawyers can be really foolish some times.. first time anyone gets an
email that uses a nonstandard character set and doesn't declare it in
the content headers (eg: anything MS, that has ? instead of '), see if
you can get their account suspended ;)
