    Backofficer Friendly's not a firewall and shouldn't be taken as
    a substitute. It's a useful (we believe) alerting tool - a sort
    of "lightweight burglar alarm" rather than a security system in
    its own right.
    
    I don't forsee BOF turning into a firewall, either. I'm through with
    firewalls: "been there, done that." ;)
