I run the VirtualBox headless all the time: "VBoxHeadless -s XP1" and I connect to it with rdesktop. It is running on an old P4 2.4, so can't say if it would run on a 386.
If the VPN is setup in a standard hub and spoke configuration then bittorrent would not help since all traffic between sites has to go via the central site.
Your best bet is multicast, there are programs for software distribution that use multicast.
In same safety stores you can buy a plastic card that when held to a microwave will show you the amount of leakage. Just test your laptop with this. But I don't think you will see any microwaves coming from your laptop unless you have wifi card.
Before you spend the money on a new machine, find out how much power your current one uses.
My main machine at home is an Athlon 800 with 1Gig of RAM and two IDE drives. It uses 100 Watts, that translates to 876kWh per year and at $0.10 per kWh it amount to $88 per year. I know how much power it uses because I have it connected to a Kill-A-Watt power meter.
Monitor is a big power hog, but your server will not need a monitor to be on all the time.
I'm sorry, if you tell me my hosting bill is going up because some jackasses are running a wormed IIS on a cable modem and generating malicious requests, I'm telling you to take a flying fuck at the moon.
Guess what, somebody has to pay for it, if you are not
willing to pay for the traffic directed at your machine
(after all nobody made you put your machine on the Internet)
then you will be moving from one ISP to an other.
No ISP is willing to eat this, as soon as you cost
the ISP more then they are making of you,
they will be happy for you to switch to the competition.
Just so you know, an ISP is a business not a charity. The
margins are so small that keeping a customer that is
not generating a profit is stupid for the ISP.
None of your 3 points are the responsibility of the ISP.
Remember, most ISPs get their connection from some other ISP,
at what point does the resposibility for traffic stop?
There are two ends to each connection, the originator and
terminator of the traffic. The ISP has a contractual aggrement
with one end. That end is the one that has to pay the consequences
of having a machine connected to the Internet.
If the ISP has to eat it, then either he goes out of business
and you have less competition, or the prices for all other customers
of this ISP go up. How is this fair for one customer to subsidize somebody
else.
If the customer does not like what is in his contract he can go
to some other ISP. And we are back to previous point.

If you expect to always to exceed 100 gigs then buy the $29.99 package and pay an extra $75 each month for a total of $105.

Would this apply to regular cameras also?

If you can extend the USB (wireless or otherwise) then you can plug a regular wireless keyboard dongol close to the couch.

This one is not an offshore scam, it IS the Nigerian scam. They use a fake bank website to prove to the victim that the money is in the account.

I have reported it to the cops, but they don't seem to care.
This is why text in all CAPS is more difficult to read.
If you rearrange letters so the shape of the word stays the same then we can read it.

It all boils down to TSNSTAAFL.
The customer pays what is in his contract. Make the language very explicit. There is no reason the ISP should eat it.
