Barry,

Good advice however it leads me on to ask which firewal you're suing as it
sounds like you get on with ok and Jaws.

I've got Zonealarm or rather a sighted friend put it on and i don't dispute
it's good software for what it does however not the best with Jaws.  What
are you using and why did you choose this as opposed to all the others out
there?

cheers,

Phil

it before you go on broadband.  When I connected my broadband modem to the
net there were five attempts to scan my computer within the first second.
The tiscali web site I downloaded my update for the modem even tried sending
me a virus.  Luckily, I had a firewall installed.  Within five minutes, the
firewall stopped twenty attacks.
