Sorry everyone. I'm going to have to withdraw this, thanks to something Charles pointed out:

I was so caught up in this that I didn't even think about that. Running an SSH server alone is probably technically a violation of the ComCast ToS. As much as I wish I could still do this, you're right, I'm not going to be able to. Thanks for pointing this out. > Randolph, > > I'm a member of this list, and have Comcast, but have no servers running at > home.

First of all, for information on me and a little about my research, you can check out my university web page at http://www.cs.umd.edu/~randofu. I'm working on this with Bobby Bhattacharjee and Mark Shayman. I'd appreciate it if you didn't send them too many e-mails (since they're busy), especially since I've realized this won't be possible. I'm just pointing this out because even though I'm withdrawing it, I don't want anyone to think that I was trying to do something shady. I'm going to go look into the Comcast ToS and see what I can do about this... Hopefully I can get around it somehow.
