I'm interested in the technical aspect of it all. Is AT&T going to start simple port blocking, or whatever I didn't think of, against worms which might interfere with what legit ports that might be open. Would love to know what they have in mind for this Internet Protect and its implementation. Ok, I've got to read up on what happened in the 1950s for the telephone network since I wasn't even born then. :) -- jkm [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
