Re: How insecure are cable connections, versus dialup?

Your exposure is how much time you spend connected. Cable or dial-up makes little difference. In both cases you should have a firewall. Disabling unneeded servers is a good idea in all cases. Debian 3.0 installs and enables all kinds of insecure services (e.g., SunRPC, portmapper) by default.
