[nylug-talk] OT: earthlink blocking HTTPS?

[Matthew Barr]

I use https on a TimeWarner + Earthlink link.  No problem from  
outside.  Nice thing about Earthlink is that running a server is  
*not* against their AUP.  Only distributing bad content - copyright  
not owned by you or with permission, etc - or other bad actions are  
prohibited.
(I didn't pull up the AUP to see what else it had, but it was  
reasonable when I read it last. )
