Bil, I'll find their web sites and look it over. As far as I know, my ZA is set to block all ports, incoming and outgoing except for the ones that my programs use. They have been granted access to the internet but when it comes to the program asking for server priveleges, I checkmark the "no" box.
I'm on dialup, so if I was on line 24/7, I would be more concerned about the firewall I'm using. Judging by all the rejections of access in the ZA log, I would say ZA is doing a pretty good job. I will check this out further to see if there is cause for concern. Thanks for the info, Jon Garver Heritage Television Service Monticello,IN.47960 U.S.A.
