Righty-o; remember, folks, slapping a C2 (or even higher box) on an
unsecured network renders any NCSC evaluation moot.

As far as I'm concerned, I won't look at an NT firewall unless/until
the boys in Redmond announce that NT firewalls are protecting *their*
inhouse net.  (Someone recently mentioned that Microsoft's racks of
NT servers are firewalled by BSDI Unix boxes.)
