RE: [PLUG] Veriizon ADSL


Ohhhhh yeah.  I see many scans on a daily basis.  Lord help those that
connect without a properly configured firewall.  You'll be damned if you
connect a PC to AOL without a firewall (I saw over 300 scans the one time I
had to connect to the internet using AOL while on the road).  Internally, I
have a home network of Windows machines.  They all run BlackIce Defender in
paranoid mode.  It hasn't popped yet to indicate the badguys have succeeded
in getting to my home network.

Now, I must say I NAT my traffic.  There is a way in...but very tightly
controlled.  Which reminds me...

I had my firewall down and I got hit!

Given the choice, I would go with cable or anything other than
Verison/DirectTV DSL.
