HI,

I have been viewing this list for several weeks now and it seems that
the general consenus is that a firewall is needed in ALL cases.  What I
am wondering is what if the only connection to the Internet is a
Website?  And what if the WebSite software has its own built-in security
such as O'Reiley's WebSite does?  Is a firewall _still_ necessary?
Thanks for any responses..I would hope that others would be wondering
this also, not just myself, and any responses would benefit many.
