VZN's residential AUP prohibits "servers" along with a number of other
offensive prohibitions which they don't currently enforce. (For
example, you're prohibited from using your VZN broadband for anything
"sexually explicit").

As I recall the business FiOS AUP had it's own set of ridiculous
terms... but it didn't attempt to prohibit you from running "servers".
