[AccessD] OT: Firewall

Charlotte:

I tried the clean install but it still messed up. Even went through all 
their uninstall stuff.  I'm sure it's something peculiar to that machine. 
But if I can do a quickie with Sygate that'll be fine, instead of messing 
around for another hour or two with Zone Alarm.

Regards,

Rocky
