	All interfaces (Ethernet & Answer Profile & Conn. profiles), that
way, attacks coming thru your ethernet won't affect your machine, attacks
thru you wan lines won't affect you either. I say we should also put a
filter on outgoing packets so you can get blamed is ones of your users
attacks someone else's machines.
