    I would not think it is a good idea to run from ah ome machine. there is no
    telling what might be installed on their machine or how secure their network
    is. I suggest for outside scans to contact a profesional company or purchase a
    dedicated or co-located server designed for this purpose.

    Quoting ericaldrc51@netscape.net:
