Once again, sorry to be the tedious boring legality pointing-out person...
doesn't NTL explicitly forbid (and scan for) webservers and the like? I
realise bucketloads of people run things on their cable modems, but then
lots of people drive too fast, and that's against the rules too ;-)
It's always worth checking the small print in your contracts, terms of
service or whatever. I wouldn't want to get caught out, personally.
If you do want to run services, I'd heartily recommend a non-NAT ADSL
service instead. And it means you don't have to browse through
disgustingly overloaded transparent Inktomi TrafficServers, too - although
I get the feeling they've been rather better over recent months.
