I'm quite curious about the illegality of Web service

I certainly ran Web servers in cable-equipped buildings,

My guess is, his broadband terms of service prohibit "running a web server", the spirit of which is to not run it on an open port and chew up a bunch of bandwidth. I can't imagine a scenario where it would be illegal to run one on a port only open to the local machine (though, this wouldn't be the first time I was surprised by the practices of a cable monopoly).

I would harbor a guess that it's perfectly safe and legal, and possibly wise, for Phil to try and run the same web server on his machine locally as he is running elsewhere. He seems quite befuddled by the differences between running a script via wish and via a web server.
