I have always rebuilt the directory tree, splitting it into three 
trees, and eliminating the X.SLT directory.

How important or useful is that directory name and location?  Assume 
OS/2, connected broadband; in this case cable, where physical security 
is not an issue.

Does the use of a consumer grade hardware firewall - such as a Linksys 
router, effect the answer?
