My clients (homes) have no access to there firewalls. The
emails(alarts) of my clients firewalls go to our central server. We
have scripts that will page or alert one of the staff members the
problems. Since these are home customers we have to keep the pc
configurations simple but secure.
I received an email for SOHOware about there problem, it seems they
have no answer.
I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem.
