You may not "offer public information services" on a Qwest residential line.
IANAL, but that sounds like to me that you can do email but not web.  SSH in
any event isn't public; that's the whole point.  Chat rooms are verboten.
You may otherwise run a server, personal or commercial.

I would go with a third party web hosting company like DreamHost; they have
the 24x7 uptime thing going which a residential DSL line can't possibly
beat, and it's pretty cheap.
