Last time I checked, it was like this, if someone has an absolutely imperatively important need to run their own mailserver, (mail going in both directions), they needed to make a specific request. And then convince or confuse the offended ISP. Comcast, and Cox, and Verizon, and even AT&T (down south), and possibly Megapath, (mine), normally want to know why. But strangely enough Megapath, doesn't care about a personal webserver living and running here. AT&T didn't care when I got port 25 unblocked i'm still blacklisted by every mail server due to a dynamic IP though. ;) The TOS also explicitly allows web servers or used to anyway Mind I have a VPS and everything. ;) (Bell ringing time: Dave there's a box by you complete with an interesting gadget inside, currently being used by two cats as a sleeping post, it really needs me.) ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. Hello! Then you must have found an intelligent helpdesk person. Every time I would ask about that, and this was about ten years previously and sadly after they started supplying their clueless helpdesk people rather then the original crowd Covad had, I would be taken to task as to why.... Oh and they had no idea what Linux was and what it did. The fact that their hardware was a badly configured and quite out of date system running Solaris 7 was an interesting and amusing fact. As for running a website, I was aiding and abetting in that direction about then as well, same box, but they were acting similarly. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
