Dave, It depends on how long the customer stays authenticated to the fw. Once the customer has initiated one session to you, you may initiate many sessions to them and they will be encrypted. Also, if they are behind a firewall you traffic to them will be hidden. Basically the customer's PC will be vulnerable to unlogged attacks from you. You might want to discuss this with your customer ahead of time. HTH, Pete Goodridge --- "Dave Dunaway (ncc0296)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi there folks, > > I've got a quick question.
