Is it me? I have sent this (basic) message a couple of times, but not
getting it from the list. I got a dump a little while ago, so thought
the list might have been "stuck" for a while, but when a bunch came
through, mine was not there.... Again, sorry if this shows up more than
once...

Sorry if this shows up twice, I never received it on the list....

O.K., I know that the "acceptable use" policy says no-go using a VPN
client with Comcast "home" cable modem access. I know if they detect
you using a VPN they will cancel/re-assess you as a "business" grade
(although the local rep says they don't know how much to charge for that
since they aren't officially offering it here yet!).
The question on the table is this; If I am running Comcast cable as a
normal home-use, single dynamic IP user, but I'm using a NAT router
between the cable modem and my PC('s), and one of my PC's is using VPN
to access the corporate network, is that undetectable?
A guy I know has been doing it three months so is telling everyone that
with a NAT router, it's undetectable. I say it's still detectable,
Comcast just hasn't noticed him yet. Who's right? Does anyone know for
sure?
Thanks -
Chris.
