[Gllug] Proxy awareness campaign

[Jim Bailey]

Hi all,

BT definately don't want you running servers off your ADSL I checked out 
their terms and conditions some months back, a server is definatlely a no,
  no as was connecting the ADSL link to anything other than a single 
machine which may not be connected to a network.  If you wanted your 
machine to connect to say the children's pc in their bedroom, pay more, 
shades of M$ client licensing?  I believe that many of the newer packages 
allow this now, and to be fair I haven't checked BT terms and conditions 
for their newer packages.

Peace Jim
