    I definitely recommend a personal firewall on dial-up or anytime
    you're not behind a router or f/w that you maintain. I worked on a
    friend's machine recently who only had dial-up who had a backdoor
    connection to a machine in latin america. If your machine is
    accessible on the internet, it will be likely be compromised in 20
    minutes.
