Yes, that was me.  I had to switch firewalls.  I don't remember if I had
that problem with syncfoss or not.

Hi Phil,

I didn't have time to answer emails yesterday due to a crazy day here, but
someone else reported the Zone Alarm and NetFoss issue a while back
(I think it might have been Marty), but I never found a reason why Zone
Alarm treated it as a different object name each time.

The only file which speaks to a TCP Port is netcom.exe, so you could try
giving that file an exclusion, or try excluding all traffic to port 23.

You mentioned you had it working previously... was that with the same
version of Zone Alarm?

Regards,  Mike
