I know we're veering off on a tangent, but considering the typical
Windows user, you *have* to assume s/he is an idiot. Can't really blame
McAfee and its ilks.

As the old saying goes, Microsoft never bothers to make it idiot-proof,
knowing that "better" idiots will be coming along.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.  When I say "firewalled" I usually
mean=20
either externally, or internally using products like McAfee, and on a=20
handful or all ports, TCP and/or UDP, etc.  And I also stated "remote=20
host", but it could also happen on the local box, as "we are smarter
than=20
you" products like McAfee will block _outgoing_ ports like SMTP to
protect=20
the Internet from your obviously malignant PC.  I swear, I think the
think=20
I like most about Unix is that it never assumes you are an idiot.

Glad you got it worked out.
