Thanks for the refs. I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro 5 now, anyone know how to get the
older version 4.5? I can't find it on the zonelabs.com site. I also want to be
protected by a personal firewall.
BTW, is anyone working on a workaround/fix? Apparently other firewalls like
Norton also cause problems with the X server.
