This is a bridge with five different machines on it. It has to be set up 
carefully, and deny by default only works on linux. Zone alarm on 
windows does not have the ability to block by port, and apparently 
something else that is mandatory for use on windows has caused zone 
alarm to accept this. My guess is that the UPS software/popups for power 
failure settings are related to this. I want to know the exact port and 
UDP/TCP so I can do the job right, without cutting off other things.

PS: I'm on this list, there is no need to send to me directly, in 
addition to BLUG. Simply sending to BLUG should be sufficient.
