Ok, thanks for the suggestion David, I'll look it up.

I also emailed Dave Chapman off list, as he also uses ntl and the same (I 
think) router/modem or whatever the little ethernet connection box that they 
supply.

His suggestion is IPcop. I'm gonna have to look that up as well, as I've no 
knowledge of that either.

I spotted a few comments in the forums at LQ that said that guarddog is 
supposed to be quite favourable - though again, I don't know (I have a nice 
little hardware firewall that does the trick).

I'm just presuming that it would have to be an "easy" app, as my aunt has, 
until now, been a point and click windows person.
