Subject: [OS2Wireless] Help - need crash course on setting up a firewall

What Hotel Chain?
They would almost have to have a firewall.  They need to have a router 
to separate the internal/hotel network from the outside internet and 
even the cheap routers have a firewall built into them now.  Also the 
routers operation of separating the internal network from the outside 
internet is similar to NAT which  should provide a good level of 
protection from the internet.  As for the internal network you can make 
sure you don't have any shares on your system and have good passwords 
for your local accounts and you should be fairly safe.

But if you really need the firewall the last OS/2 one I used was Injoy 
and it was easy to setup.  You could probably get by using the trial 
version for your trip.

Also check on grc.com to see if your vulnerable with the Shields Up 
program.  OS/2 far less vulnerable than Windoze.
