You are right about the need for network protection. Our router has built-in
firewall protection but I don't know how good it is. We may need more and
now that we're operational will have my consultant friend give us an
evaluation. My knowledge in that area is weak, like so many other areas.
Thanks for the suggestion. /jim

Actually the way I understand that cable broadband works, you are on a
network with everyone else who subscribes to the cable company service.
And your speed is governed by how many are on line. And you should
probably set up the usual network safeguards to protect yourself from
hacking by a fellow subscriber.
