  And they can tell ... how?

  I dont see how they can, eg since I run port sentry if they scanned me
they would get no or little reply. If using IPchains and kernel forwarding
only one PC is connected to the modem anyway.............

  Since I effectively only use this PC for external use anyway Im complying
with their TOS in spirit if not in exact wording even though I have 6 PCs
connected. All I have done is distributed my services to several PCs eg DNS,
email.

  I find the one PC only condition more than a little weird, as others have
said a MP3 "kiddie" could be downloading many gigabytes a month I use around
700 to 1200 Meg a month.

  Anyway the bright side is competition for Xtra and I assume Saturn's
Service via Paradise (will Saturn/Paradise now stop the present service? and
maybe force people onto this? bit of a worry I love my static IP).
