How do you define �firewall�? I assume you mean host based packet filters.

You forgot to explain *how* someone �grabs a port and does some damage�. I use a notebook and dial-up connections to the internet. Please tell my why *I* need a software like Outpost to be safe. But, please, don't reply to this list as this has nothing to do with The Bat! and traffic is high enough these days. -> tbot -- Carsten ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
