RE: IP-Cop sub for software firewall?

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

I'd call it a very good replacement for your software based firewall.  It
protects your entire network...not just one machine.

True, it doesn't do anything to stop outbound traffic, but if you are diligent
with your virus/malware protection, that shouldn't be an issue.
