This still violates the letter of the TOS, no?  I use the widely-known 
alternate HTTP port, 8080, for my own web swerver.  However, my ISP's TOS 
says that I can run non-commercial servers on my account.  If I were selling 
anything on that server, they'd have a completely valid excuse to boot me.
