Hi, I would say if you are going to dsl or cable, it is definitely a good idea to have a firewall. YOu can still with the Norton firewall that you have or go with a hardware firewall built into a router. I would suggest going with a hardware firewall. For one thing today's spyware, and other bad programs are able and do disable a software firewall. They can't disable a hardware firewall. People will probably say you should have both, but it is up to you. I am only using a hardware firewall. Also since I've gone to a hardware firewall I don't have as many hastles as I used to. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith Bron To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 3:00 PM Subject: DSL question Hi Friends, We are looking into getting DSL. Here are my questions: 1. How do I notify everyone in muy address book that my email address has changed? 2. Do I need a firewall or any other software with DSL? I have Norton corporate edition, windows 98 and Jaws 5.1. Thanks, Judith
