RE: OT Firewall for those in the Dark Ages of NET Access

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

I don't really give a rat's ass! It does what I need it to do, it does
it cheap and it does it well enough for me and since I only have a dial
up at work and home (no cable or ADSL available) does it really matter
that much. Added to which I am not a bank, don't keep any details that
are of any importance to the security of the nation so the best anyone
can get is screwing up my server or downloading my mail!

It stops spotty 13 year olds port scanning and causing problems, it
stops viruses do I really need anything else? If it is a real hacker
then Norton AV nor anything else other than a commercial grade solution
will stop them from getting in so I have to ask what the point is? I
would also have to ask what the point of them hacking a server is that
has nothing worth stealing?!
