Re: FW: BlackIce Defender???

I musty be really confused, backofficer is a firewall?  I thought it was
merely a port listener, comprable to netcat or nukenabber, but hardly a
fully functional firewall utility of any sort...

Than again, I have been wrong before, and no doubt will be so quite often
again...
