Not totally correct. A firewall is only as good as the traffic that is permitted to flow across it. If you want to block something from phoning home then yes you can block outbound traffic as well. Typically firewalls are as good as the person who set them up and what is permitted to flow across the firewall. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
