Yup, triggered by a induhvidual that was making a business of selling 
firewalls to companies then telling them that their tech support was 
mailto:fwtk-support () tis com - we had a customer of theirs that 
effectively expected TIS to manage his firewall for free.

At least the initial intent was to allow that - it was OK for you to 
sell yourself as the support person for a company using FWTK; over time 
that became more and more restrictive.
I don't think the current FWTK owners distribute it any longer, which I 
think is a good thing.
