Wow, I find it amazing that you can afford the Symantec network firewall yet
are using a consumer grade connection to the Internet (PPPoE).

I don't know what you paid for your firewall, but the Raptor firewall I
bought for work cost $20,000.00 for the software (2 CPU version including
the Webnot/Newsnot module) and another $15,000.00 for the computer. For a
grand total of about $35,000.00 for the firewall. Considering that, I would
think you could afford a permanent commercial connection to the Internet :-)

Maybe you got yours cheaper :-)
