- Primary shell accounts allow you to use our host services from another access provider. If you have a cable modem, DSL, satellite connection, or dial access through another provider but wish to utilize our host services, such as shell access, e-mail, news, and web hosting, then you need a primary shell account. If you have a dial access or DSL account with us, a shell account is included with that service.
- Secondary shell accounts are available as an adjunct to a primary account registered to a customer at the same physical location and telephone number. The primary account must be in good standing for the secondary account to remain active. Secondary shell accounts provide an additional e-mail box, which may be accessed via pop3, imapd, webmail, or shell mail programs, and web space for additional family members or employees in the same physical location. It is permissable for a web authoring customer to use secondary shell accounts for their customers hosting web pages here.

- A Maximum of two IRC bots or BNC's are allowed provided they are not abusive. IRC servers are not allowed on our shell server. If compiling an eggdrop, you currently need to compile version 1.1.15 or earlier. Later versions have code that will not compile properly on our current shell server.
- One Multi-player game is allowed per account provided they are not CPU, memory, or bandwidth hogs. A CPU hog would be defined as anything which eats more than 5% CPU over a 24 hour period. A memory hog would be anything with a memory core image greater than 50MB total or 15MB resident in core. A bandwidth hog would be any application that averages more than 64kilobits/second. Programs exceeding these limits may be allowed for a negotiated amount intended to cover the cost of the resources consumed. We do ask that if you run any program which remains resident when you are not logged in that you e-mail support@eskimo.com and let us know the nature of this program so that we can monitor usage and if there is a start-up script, let us know that and we will add it to the system initialization so that it gets started automatically upon reboot.
