(OT) Somebody Has A Virus! Was: RE: [Shotimes] OEM tips

[Ron Porter]

Yep, Linksys wireless, the "old" 802.11b model that's been dropping in price
for awhile! We have two laptops with wireless cards, and reception in the
house is great!

The 11b frequency does mess with the cordless phones a bit, though, but
moving away from a wireless card with clear the reception up. Getting an 11a
or an 11g network would help the phone situation, but the price was still up
there on those base units.

It's the Mailwasher that catches it. I run a gateway router/firewall that is
physically in front of the PC that acts as the server for the wireless
network in the house.

All I know is I've been without Norton for 2 years and Zonealarm has stopped
all virii.  I've been using Mailwasher too for the last 6 months. It is
before Zonealarm and will stop any email problems before you actually
download them.
