This came out on /. recently when they e-mailed rule changes to all their
users.  Strictly speaking, the @-home rules do not allow masqing (something
about "don't use the connection as a hub on a non-@-home network").  I do know
they routinely portscan all users' machines to see what services are active
(the rules prohibit web hosting as well).

Personally, I don't care.  I don't use them.  They suck.  Now they suck even
more.
