Cheeky, I have BlackIce Defender, so I feel relatively secure. But, I have been researching networking, and found the UG-3000 which seems to serve as a "no cost" firewall. I hesitate to call it impenetrable, but it seems to be close. Check it out when you get a chance. Have fun, Phil

I don't think its great to list all the users there. Some hacker if s/he finds a way to break it will then also know which sites to hack.... If I was a user, I wouldn't want to advertise Hey Hackers! this is what I'm using!!!

Interesting article: 32bitsonline.com SNIP: >Linux is more secure out of the box than win95 or 98, which is easy because Microsoft provides NO way to secure either win95 OR 98. Period. Linux is NOT more secure out of the box than OpenBSD. Nothing you can buy, and nothing anyone you know can buy, is. There has not been a remote exploit (security hole, for you experts) in the default OpenBSD setup in two and a half years. Period.< openbsd.org
