I have a news flash for all of you "security experts" out there: The Internet is not one, big, coordinated firewall with a handy GUI, waiting for you to provide the filtering rules. How many of you "experts" regularly sniff OC-48 and OC-192 backbones for all those naughty packets? Do you really want ISPs to filter the mother of all ports-of-pain, TCP 80? Filter at the *EDGE* folks. You own your own networks; use and manage them responsibly. If you need assistance, ASK. If you can't take on the task, purchase bandwidth from providers who sell (yes, CHARGE YOU MONEY) a filtering service. Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);
