Once upon a time Larry Vaden shaped the electrons to say...
>Does anyone have a filter set which disallows running daemons (such as http,
>etc) on a dialup connection?

You cannot do what you are asking - filters cannot prevent running daemons,
as that is on the users box.

What filters can do is block specific IP/socket pairs. However, I can run
HTTP on ANY socket number - 80 is just the default. I could run HTTP on port
23 if I wanted to.
