[Lowfer] How do you do an online audio feed ???

[Fred]

Most ports to run home servers are blocked by the dsl/cable companies, port 
80 which is used by shoutcast is being blocked by your internet company, 
betch you a dime.
Consumer internet companies  don't want hobbyist to run home servers on 
their systems unless we pay $$$$ to have all the ports open and upload 
speed.

Please let us know the results.
