Re: Linksys 4-port Router NAT/Firewall

Erm... What operating system are we talking about? (for us who are
clueless about the zone alarm) If this ZA is used with the windows 9x
family, I wonder just how it actually supposed to provide that kind of
functionallity?

If it does and becomes widely used with insecure operating systems, the
next generation of "B02K", "Sub-7" which the first poster were conserned
about will certainly disable ZA before doing network access. And under
windows 9x, implementing security is... well, impossible.
