some people use MiamiDX for its firewalls stuff. some others use a small
PC box with smoothwall/gnatbox/mandrake-firewall etc. others use some PC
windows junk to do the job

me, i dont worry.....i do security at work, I've yet to find a hole in my
Amiga - there again, depends what software you run..and who knows what
backdoors MIGHT be hidden in some server things people run on their Amigas
