RE: OT Firewall for those in the Dark Ages of NET Access

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Paul, 

I use the Norton Internet Security pack and it does the job, is
unobtrusive and very easy to set up. Once it's set up you update it
occasionally, it tells you to, and leave the thing alone. Very simple,
very easy and not very expensive either.
