BUT, pussycat......I don't have *issues* with IE and OE.......and I like
them. I tried Agent......hated it. And didn't like Netscape at all
(version 3 or so)......so why change?

Why not? It stops incoming pings and probes and I never have anything
land on here that wants to phone home.......so what else would version 4
do that this doesn't?? I tried out 3.xxx remember......and I disabled a
lot of the frills.....I just want a basic firewall.
