[CVALE] ***SPAM*** (4.1) Re: Router Recommendation

[Rick Knight]

Patrick,

Thanks for the information. My router is configured to not allow remote 
access and I cannot connect to it via the internet, I tried from work 
and the connection just times out, so I guess I'm safe until a fix is 
available?

Thanks,
Rick
