I can't remember what mine was.  I used to belong to CompuServe after I
dropped GEnie.  How about having rack-mount equipment at home?  I've got
two systems, a patch panel, and a stereo rack-mounted.  I've also got
network cable run throughout the house with nice looking Leviton wall
plates.  I've still got a functional Apple II and Atari 800.  The best part
is that my wife encourages this behavior.  Life is good!  :)

Hi Buck -

>CompuServe ID.

My CompuServe id is 71035,3137.  That's actually not my first one, but I
couldn't get my first one back after I had dropped off for a few years.

>book for firewalls which anyone would recommend?

Are you looking for something about firewalls in general or for something
specific?  If you want to roll your own with a Linux system I recommend
"Linux Firewalls (Second Edition) by Robert L. Ziegler.  Be sure to get the
Second Edition.

Yeah, mine's a real, live, 20wpm Extra (not that I could even copy 5wpm any
more).
