My Google search seems | to indicate that these are better than XP's because they block outgoing as | well. True? | 3) A hardware firewall. She looked into this. A salesperson told her that's | a DSL router. Is a hardware firewall and DSL router the same thing or are | they different? | | Thx | | | -- | Regards, | Anthony Giorgianni | | The return address for this post is fictitious. Please reply by posting back | to the newsgroup. | |
