i use my freebsd on a stand alone home computer with a dial up connection to 
my isp. it's connected for 6 or more hours a day. i'm thinking i should 
implement some protection. i've read Dru Lavigne's articles but am unclear on 
one point. is there any difference in the devices referenced in the rulesets 
ie. ed0 versus a dialup connection. it appears the articles are on a network 
connection (ie. through a nic). does this matter?

thanks
Dave
