    I musty be really confused, backofficer is a firewall?  I thought it was
    merely a port listener, comprable to netcat or nukenabber, but hardly a
    fully functional firewall utility of any sort...
    
    Than again, I have been wrong before, and no doubt will be so quite often
    again...
