Hey Everybody,

I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about
Instant Internet??

It seems to be an simple proxy server/firewall (this is stretching
the definition of firewall) that provides reasonable 
security. One of its key security assumptions is that the
internal network is NOT TCP/IP!!!

Apparantly it is prone to the piggy backing of IPX on TCP/IP
and thereby easy to break??

Is this true??

Any comments on this product??

Cheers
Simon
