While I 100% agree with you that it's not wise to run without a 
firewall, I'd be very curious to hear a story from an OS/2 or eCS user 
whose computer has been hijacked. Is anyone actually writing tools that 
would do such a thing? I read all kinds of security newsletters and so 
on as part of my job, and I have never once heard of an OS/2 or eCS 
security exploit. Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right place.
