You cannot be an ISP. You cannot host server applications. You cannot use it for a business. You cannot be an endpoint on a non-Comcast LAN or WAN (whatever that means). But my suggestion would be to either ask on alt.usage.english, or call and ask their legal department. Could you be an I.S.P? I could not be an ISP! I cannot serve FTP! Not on a LAN, not on a WAN, I cannot serve anything thanks to the Cable Man. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
