Use encryption to a vendor such as anonymonizer (spelling?) which will decrypt and send. So now all the ISP sees is the encrypted flow from you to anonymonizer. You have a contract with anon. that they WILL not send your information to anybody or log it in any way. This would be a standard business contract so that if anon. violates it, they get sued.
No offense meant, but I'd be more impressed if you indicated who you are. If you are not in control of a major newsfeed, who will notice? If you don't pass the NG articles on, then most likely a number of others will. A UDP, to be effective, must be enforced by the majority of the sites which relay the articles. Again, not saying that you can't do this. It is your right. Just as it is the right of other people who relay newfeeds to say that they won't relay articles from one area. Kind of like having an area in a business for "free" newspapers. The business owns the area, therefore they can say to a distributor, "I don't want your newspaper." Is this wrong? I don't think so.
I think that's the whole idea. @HOME has all of its users "cut off" from USENET posting (not reading!). Those people get very upset. They tell @HOME - why is this happening - FIX IT or I go elsewhere with my business. @HOME faces loosing current & future customers. @HOME therefore looses money. This gets their attention. Therefore, they make a bigger effort to actually fix the problem. Probably by cancelling the actual abuser's account.
I haven't downloaded/installed it, but there is an entry for pppoe on freshmeat. It is from Dec 1999. Apparently it run in the user space, not kernel. Search on pppoe and you should find it.

Please do NOT change the date to be "correct" by adding 7 years. I won't be able to afford the late charges on my Visa!
