[SLUG] at-home cops, evading the

Does anyone know how to evade the at-home cops? I want to run a LIGHTLY
loaded website from my static at-home address. This is just to share
family photos, news, my resume, etc and will never see much traffic. I
have 700 megs of leased commercial space but, to eliminate any tough
questions from the IRS, I don't want to use it for personal use. More than
that, I have a 10 gig HD and a 10 MB/s connection sitting on the desk to
my left that is essentially 100% unused capacity.

I have crawled all over the com_cast-at-home web site and can not find a
plan that will permit this. I thought, from the way the sales techie
spoke, that I was getting this right; but the TOS agreement says
otherwise. I want the experience of running a web site from home ... to be
able to point an employer to it as proof of competence.

I have a static address into a router, a spare machine with nic etc,
Mandrake 8.0 and Apache loaded & working. I BRIEFLY opened port 80
--built into the Linksys router-- and had my son grab a page I had placed
there ... it all works ... then closed the port down again.

Since I can not find a way to do this openly, I am looking for a way to
evade their detection software. It seems I should be able to coax Apache
into listening on a high port and passing that port address around the
family. Maybe someone knows of a different method or can tell me why this
one won't work?
