I realize I'm the one breaking the rules and taking the risks, but I
would like to set up a small webserver at home. It will be very very

it for the infrequent times of moving small files around (less than
2mb, in most cases) and also *maybe* sshd so I can use it to fiddle
with machines on my LAN. I understand the usual ports are blocked and
I know how to get around that.

Charter's network people are too stupid to block the "usual" ports.

telnet> quit

heh.. I didn't even bother to check, I just assumed they were. Doesn't
matter though, I intend to forward everything off to obscure ports
anyways. That'll at least fool the first row of w0rmz, kr4x0rz and
$cR1p+ K1dd33z.
