When signing on with a given service provider, folks, you need to be cautious, because anything else they offer may not be Jaws-friendly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Miller" <n1umj@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 2:08 PM Subject: Re: Cable vs DSL with JFW > Most definitely, and what ever you do, do *not* *under any conditions* even > think of installing the Comcast security manager.
