Although "fails open" is a pretty powerful argument against software firewalls, it's probably easier to get a user to download and install a new copy of Zone Alarm (especially if it has some kind of auto-update feature, which I dunno since I don't use it), than it is to get them to download a new firmware image for their hardware router and flash it. -- Shawn McMahon | Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, EIV Consulting | that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any UNIX and Linux | hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure http://www.eiv.com| the survival and the success of liberty. - JFK -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
