Interesting. What prevents me from uploading a compiler ?

You get Netscape for a shell account ????? Interesting ;) We could ofcourse
just run slirp or term and use netscape, but it seems silly ;)

Shell accounts are very powerful. That's a reason why most isp's probably
ownt offer them. And charging is hard, since they will usually try to make
background jobs, logout and log back in to get the results.

However, the worst shell setup I've seen so far comes from a small  ISP in
Nijmegen (The Netherlands). They charged you for time and diskspace, and had
disabeled all commands like rm,chmod,mv. You could not delete your own files
;)  (I helpd my friend by (ab)using the shells umask to get a copy of rm
on the system with execute bits on :)
