Thanxx FB, I've heard a lot of negative things about GRC, and his probing
showed my port 139 as closed when it in fact was wide open, so I think that
one would get more accurate reports elsewhere...

But the term "stealth" confuses me, I thought that it, in fact, made you
invisible on the net? Is it easy to "spot" a "stealthed" computer? Does
"stealth" add to your protection or does it just add more wait-state?
