If you're paranoid (and there's good reason to be!), recycle an old PC (anything from Pentium I up is more than enough; you can probably get one at a yard sale for $20) into a firewall. Just download and install IPCop. You'll need two NICs, but they're only $10 new now. Ron -- Opinions are mine. Don't blame anyone else.
