Perhaps "dedicated firewall" could be interchanged with "appliance", and instead of the ambiguous use of "software firewall", we could use what you used for the definition, instead. And instead of saying "rather than using..." you should say "in addition to using..." Eh? I mean, if you're really concerned about the hair splitters, you might want to try using terms that won't end up having their hairs split. <G> Just a thought. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
