   Yes, I can understand this Rudi :(  With the linux version, it's different.   
   You just open the port on the firewall that you will use for bbbs's ftp, web   
   server, etc., not such a huge range!   
      
   That's why I couldn't understand why you and I had such trouble the other day   
   trying to get your Windows box to work right with bbbs's web server.. but   
   obviously it is different under windows..   
      
   :(   
      
   It still seems like there has to be an easier way.. just guessing, since   
   passive ftp isn't such a horrible thing as far as I know .   
      
   Take care,
