teergrube a feature?  I suppose only if you aren't expecting e-mail to be
timely. I actually use a different feature... I filter e-mail and that which
isn't specifically directed ends up in the catchall dumpster which allows me
to scan it quickly and dump the unsolicited stuff...rather low tech (dare I
say this...M$) solution.

I suppose that it maintains a list of senders that are allowed to pass thru
normally tho.

As for port scanners on Speedchoice - ha - ipchains logged only about 160K
of rejections last week. As opposed to the same on 2 computers on Cox@Work /
400M and 560M respectively. Wanna see a computer brought to it's knees. Just
start logging the bs activity on the @home shared bandwidth and by the end
of the week, syslog will have it's hands full just putting the entries at
the end of the logs.

In tracing the computers that were associated with the unauthorized and
destructive accesses on 4 separate systems that I had set up, most of the
connections were thru various home.com systems (rogers.home.com /
bc.wave.home.com / on.wave.home.com).

By comparison, Speedchoice's bandwidth is serene compared to the
unbelievable activity on @Work. Do they ever police their bandwidth?
