Hello,

Here we do it the other way, because we had some complaints about
NetMeeting, PcAnywhere etc.
So instead of permit1, permit2, permitx logic, we do deny1, deny2, deny3,
permit all the rest.

Regards,

Why would you want to permit any source IP? If you're going to the
trouble of making a filter, and you don't have a ridiculous number of CIDR
blocks, then only allow the subset of possibly valid source addresses.
