Hogwash. <http://www.home.com/qa.html>:
Can I attach a server to your network?
No. The @Home service is for residential, casual use only and does not
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
support or allow servers of any kind from the home. At this time,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@Work offers products that allow the kind of connectivity a server
requires. Please visit @Work at work.home.net.
What part of that don't you understand? Do you also not understand that
many cable ISP's are routinely scanning subscribers for servers (which
works right through a router), and threaten termination when they find
them?
