I prefer Kerio 2.1.5, but due to Sygate crashing in ME I tried ZA again
(which for a long time caused problems in ME). Now I use ZA (free) in 98se
and on one ME box (still Kerio 2.1.5 on XP - though there may be issues with
SP2).

The problems with *fixes* is knowing whether they're critical or bloat. Of
course, one places significant trust in one's firewall and *should*
(ideally) assume that all updates *are* critical.

But, yes, I use ZA Free. But recent versions are a common download and you
select either Pro or Free during installation. Never having installed Pro I
don't know if it then downloads extra files, but doubt it.

I'll grant that *crippled* was probably a little strong. *Disabled*.
