Hi; Thank you *very much* for this excellent tutorial! Here are a few things I would suggest for its improvement: * State near the beginning explicitly your use of terms for interfaces, what they do and how to discover what yours are. The tutorial assumes everyone understands this. I did not and this created a lot of confusion for me. * Standardize your use of interfaces. The tutorial goes back and forth between a whole plethora of them, adding to the above confusion. * Explain what things like "port www" mean. This isn't a macro...it doesn't have a "$" sign. But how is it a port? It isn't a port number, either. Other than that, excellent. I'm on my third read and long along the way to developing a good rules set. Thanks again, beno
