Hey Devon, I'm a UNIX consultant, don't kid yourself, UNIX is very exposed to all kinds of intrusions, especially if you are networked or the server is on high-speed T3, ATM, DSL etc. connection. There are some people who can get through even a well configured, triple level, segmented router using SPI and NAT with workstations running additional firewall packages. These are highly skilled crackers and are scary! The only way to be completely safe, short of being physically attacked, is to be unplugged from the network and take your hard disc with you! Macs are no less exposed to intrusion when using TCP/IP networks that have DSL or other type of always on network connections. One of the worst published network intrusions was a UNIX worm that screwed up thousands of internet servers and tens of thousands of workstations connected to them. This doesn't even consider the unpublished intrusions at state and federal governments and military networks that we will never hear about. Oh yeah, how about that EOS 1v EOS Link ES-E1 software? It looks handy for a shooter who burns a lot of film in a session and needs to keep track of the film for the assignment. 8^) Regards, Chip Louie * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
