I've had Comcast for about 18 months.  I had Charter before that (I 
moved) for about 6 years.  I run both a web server (on port 80) and a 
mail server on Comcast and don't have any problems.  Of course, 
nobody knows about my web server, and there isn't anything on it (not 
even a real home page) but it _is_ running. (if someone wants to 
check it from the "outside world" email me and I'll point you to the URL).
