Actually, I don't really give a damn about their policy, I mean what're they gonna do if I contravene any of it? Sue me for damage? HA! I'm a student for godness sake! Basically, I'm running all the services, telnet, finger, maild, ftpd, basically everything, but I don't really worry because of what Bigpond can't get out of me, rather I know myself that the upstream traffic will not be of that unusual volume, so I'm really rest assured. I think as long as your server don't hog up the bandwidth, they'll close one eye, I'd GUESS. by the way, anyone know the maximum bandwidth for Advance and Optus@Home cable? Will it be of say OC-12, those rating type? Hope that helps...
