Does that home network connect to my business network? Then you bet. Do I
want to protect my home systems from exploit? Yeah, I really do. Maybe I'm
in the minority, but I run a PIX out of my house. Before that I ran GNATBox.
If I didn't run PIX I would likely be a lot more knowledgeable in
IPCHAINS/IPTABLES and my Linux box wouldn't sit around doing so little...
