For the past two months something has been going on with our firewall at the office.
I use JFFNMS to monitor my network and I began receiving notifications that certain services and ports on the firewall were randomly closing and opening. I tried to see what was going on, but nothing turned up in the event [...]

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t get a call from a telemarketer at least once a week if not much more. They’ll call and leave no message and annoy the heck out of you.
