| I have Charter Cablemodem access. Like most any broadband provider

| *how* closely do they watch this?
|

| would like to set up a small webserver at home. It will be very very
| low bandwidth- mostly just to host small images like avatars and stuff
| for a few forums I frequent. I will also like to have ftpd running on
| it for the infrequent times of moving small files around (less than
| 2mb, in most cases). I understand the usual ports are blocked and I
| know how to get around that.
|
| I know it's against the rules, but has anyone ever done this
| themselves? Ever get 'busted', and if so, what did they do? I have a
| feeling that as long as I don't rock the boat too hard they either
| won't notice or won't care as much.
|
| But I could be wrong.
|
| Thanks for any insight.

Yes. A server is often a violation of an ISP's AUP/ToS. Normally ignored.
However...
If it is a commercial venture or has heavy Internet use then expect the ISP to
enforce the
clause.
