It's an ok service, nice pipe usually. I use it for my personal work. But yes, they do scan you to make sure you are not running a 'service' but you can put up a small web page for your own use (ftp site as well) as long as they don't see your outbound usage spike. (They mail send you an eMail about the web server, and you just need to reply "Pesonal refrence site, etc." and they won't mind. The only reason I posted this back to the list is because I do suggest marking off any of their ops servers in the no-log of your firewall so it won't bug you to much. -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
