Just a note, from a Syracuse NY official RoadRunner beta-tester, who
was married to a RR installation supervisor...
If RR finds out you're running a server at home they'll cut you off
at the knees. If you allow packets through port 80, that flags them
that you're most likely running a server and they'll check you out.
I know, it sucks; and most people ignore it anyway - sure would be
nice to use the bandwidth as a backup/mirror solution in case my main
machine goes down... :(
