Most cablemodems running ANY kind of server including (as of Sept on the @home
network) ssh is a violation of their TOSi (Terms of Service). For the people
looking to do this, if you have xDSL available you might look into Telocity.
Their TOS allow just about anything that is legal and not SPAM.
They also state you can host a web server as long as "you know what you
are doing". And just so there is no confusion I do not work for them but
I do have their service here and so far I am very happy with it.

Sorry for the off topic post,
