I'm thinking I want to start servering/trading mp3's or something. You might want to watch out with this. It's against some cable modem companies' user terms of service. If you do run a server, try to make sure it isn't super-busy, since that could bring the cable modem company's attention to your server. besides, cable modems are fast for downloading, but uploading is much slower. >Just to have fun with.
