Actually, we are in the process of evaluating several of the personal firewall/IDS products for recommendation to our users. If the product that we like the most isn't free, we'll try working out some sort of discounted price with the vendor. There is also the legal area that needs to be thought through properly. We need to make sure our legal disclaimer cover our *ss properly. I think you'll see a trend towards ISP's offering discounted or free A/V and firewall/IDS software. I'm told some already do.

I'm a 24 dotter myself, and I know we are targets. @home knows, RoadRunner knows, many people know. But nobody from RoadRunner said to me "Oh, and by the way, you have just been elevated to status 'compus delecti' by the preteen hacking set." Well, I wouldn't have expected THAT much candor, but perhaps an important looking red envelope with a security CD inside would have been a nice and effective gesture? -Josh "Don't have me because I'm AOL" Narins
