Hi Roblimo

Great idea. Definitely something that would appreciated highly.

Having experienced a number of what one would be consideres in consistenancies
in various applications and after being flustered numerous times that the
direct approach did or does not function as perceived this to me sounds like
a great idea.

Another great idea but a much shorter one would be how to configure a single
box such as a laptop WITH OUT a firewall in the best method of elimination
intrusions, spam, worms, and other assorted negative inputs. When considering
this idea it should be realized that most laptops are used in mobile
situation where DSL type connections are not available thus they are most
times limited to dial up situations which makes security a bit more
changeling to those of us who are not network oriented. The change comes from
the fact that most security information comes from the prospective of routers
and firewalls which do have DSL type or higher speed connections.

Thanks

Frank
