You're right, I probably shouldn't have mentioned ZoneAlarm in the context
of this list <g>. ZA is a good firewall, but almost impossible to use with
a screen reader. I like Sygate because it works so well with JFW.
I've read a lot about Outpost and it is well respected, but I do not know
how or if it works with speech software.

Ken:
I thought Zone Alarm wasn't that usable with Jaws. Have you ever heard of
Outpost? That was the software fire wall that was recommended to me at one
time.
Thanks, and best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
