I got one. I like it its nice but every so often it goes out. I believe that is fixed now.
Anyway I was wondering if any of you comcast users have actualy set up a web server. I ask because I thought about setting one up for my self. Personal use. I mean, I have spare PC parts laying around and I have built a home server before when I was using covad DSL. I know comcast give you like 10meg of space but I mean, c'mon. I got harddrives laying around spare parts. PHP, Apache webserver and Linux are free. Plus doing this will either drive me crazy because I would pretty much be winging it and if I did get it to work, that would be something else learned.
I know the upstream is only like 512 so it would not be a hard core server. I have poked around comcasts faqs about this but came up empty. I will be doing more poking and if have to, I will contact them
Edit:
Err... never mind. Just found my answer:
run programs, equipment, or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises LAN (Local Area Network), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited services and servers include, but are not limited to, e-mail, Web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;
Bummer :(
