All the systems have been restarted since the phone line was repaired. The iptables command is not found on the firewall system. SNF stands for Single Network Firewall. I am not sure how it gets the rules. Craig White wrote: On Mon, 2008-08-18 at 12:33 -0700, farli wrote: I have a firewall

Sorry for the delay, but I had a meeting to attend. Eric is absolutely correct about the need for a voltage divider. You will need to determine that the output of your system is not ging to overwhelm things. The article I had in mind is calling for an 1/11 divider. Electronic Circuits for the

You may want to increase those resistors by an order of magnitude to reduce current drain requirements. Some serial cards may not like providing 1mA of constant dc current. Eric On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 2:40 PM, koder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry for the delay, but I had a meeting to

I think (if I recall correctly) that you can limit her usage of the program by editing the system policy for that program. You need to know the active executable (not the launcher, the active in-memory program it launches) and use the Group Policy Editor (gpe.msc) tool for XP (it assumes an AD
