1) If you're dialing in, the odds of you being hacked are basically nil. 2) Most personal firewall-type programs are useless. 3) If you're really that paranoid, buy a router that's capable of using a serial modem and use the hardware firewall capabilities in that. It'll be cheaper than buying software. the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
