If you would have said that about dsl, I would totally agree with you. However, you need to keep in mind the differences between dsl and cable connections. Yes, they both give you fast speeds, but they don't work the same way, just as a car and train can get you somewhere fast, but there are differences of course between how a car and train work. So, when cable ISPs don't allow their users to run servers, I can totally see where the ISP is coming from. Greg -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org
