Regarding the off-topic discussion on Server Gated Crypto (SGC).

The reason why SGC certificates are still desirable is because many 
Internet users are afraid to download and upgrade their browsers to newer 
ones or operate on corporate systems where the corporate standard 
configuration is often years behind.  I still encounter many organizations 
that still rely on Windows NT 4.0 servers and Windows 95 desktops with IE 
5.0 (with the weaker key strength)!

To provide the strongest SSL protection for the financial and privacy 
information of such users, it is worth the extra money to buy and install 
SGC certificates on a server meant to provide eCommerce to a large public 
audience where the configuration of the visitor's system can be almost 
anything.

Regards;

Marc Mandel

PS: Thanks to all those who have responded either to the firewalls listing 
or directly to me.  You have all expanded upon my knowledge of SGC.
