Just wondering Kirk if the broadband firewall is better than the software
firewall that I activated when I installed Suse linux.  I did not know
what a firewall was until I found linux and til you mentioned the
broadband firewall I was under the assumption that a firewall was basicly
a software.  At the local linux meetings I attend I hear the folks talk
about firewall with a passion.  Next time I'll ask them if they are
talking about software firewall or hardware firewall.  I guess it's about
time I learn about this firewall thing.  I was wondering also how can I
test to see if my software firewall is working or not.  Do I give
permission for another hacker to try and break into my computer?  This
string sure has been educational thus far.
