(weird, I didn't get this message...)

I have had no experiance with the M1122, however the usual case with modems
is that any network services that are running on the host computer will be
live to the internet. Meaning, say if your fileserver is connected directly
to the modem, your files will be available to the internet. Doesn't norton
corp edition come with a basic firewall? If not, get one up.

Subject: Jetstream blowout has me stumped. Anyone recognise the
problem??

I run a small business - one fileserver, five PCs and a JetStream account.
We use a Nokia M1122 modem. Our problem is, even with all our PCs turned
off, our Jetstream usage suddenly goes through the roof.

I don't think it is a Virus - we have the latest Norton Corporate Edition
installed - and nothing shows up in Outlook - ie sent message. But there it
is - everything is functioning as normal and then overnight we get 400mb
whacked onto our Jetstream usage, or - as we did one night last week -
1000mb added on. Most of this appears to be outbound from our system.

Just weird. We've hunted through our system - seeing if there are any
automated routines that might be to blame: but nothing.

Is this a familiar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?? Our network
consultants are stumped also - and meanwhile we bleed money to Telecom every
month by about $800 over our normal Jetstream 1200 plan.

Thanks in advance.
