Ya know, I held my silence, but this one just has me boiling over. I used to run an ISP, and I'd get this crap at least 100 times a day. When coming back from a nice relaxing weekend, I'd usually DREAD reading my email, because it was filled with all this "Jammer" hogwash.
Yeah, it seems to me that any implementation of a security product that in the process of "protecting" a system generates a de facto denial of service attack is seriously messed up. RGF Robert G.
