Might be Mark, but item #1 is that I'm the only user of any of these machines, and 2, its all behind a router reflashed with dd-wrt. And in nearly 20 years, only one person has come thru that and I had to give him the credentials to do it. So I feel comfy doing anything I want to do behind a guard dog like that. Nowdays the hackers are looking for machines with a gigabyte net connection, and the aren't overly interested in a 10 megabit pipe. They may hit me with a passwd attack for a couple minutes but they soon get bored and go away. dd-wrt is set to not even respond to a ping, so unless looking at my web page, my address is a very black hole. Kind of like JoAnne Dow and her pet dragon Mikey, eats everything but never gains weight. :) I even have a winderz box and a redpitaya on my network now, hasn't been touched that I know of. The redpitaya is a cute little thing not much bigger that a pi3b. Runs ubuntu and does everything but Vector Network Analyzing up to 60 megahertz, which because of the graphics involved in the VNA functions, exports the display of that data including smith charts, to a winderz box for the actual display. Exactly what I need to optimize an AM radio stations antenna for a vswr of 1.02 or better. 2 jobs will pay for that gear. And when Dee is finished, I am going to need 2 or 3 such jobs a month to supplant my SS. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
