Correct - again this was just a quick fix to check work e-mail when
the network was down (again). I am going to install comodo firewall
and disable the messenger service. Hopefully no more need to use
dial up, but I do want it as a back-up plan. I guess I should also
install the 46 remaining critical updates LOL.
