Steve;

What a pain! I hate to buy a box and not be able to use it for the intended purpose. I was saving up for a hardware firewall but I may have to go back to ZoneAlarm, which worked fine as far as I know. What you do not know will not hurt you. Well, maybe.

By the way our credit union informed us that our Visa Card was canceled as it was involved in the recent Internet Security problem. It will be replaced within 7 – 10 working days. In the mean time we cannot do things like rent a car, etc. Nice! No, not so nice!
