Hi All,

   You may want to be careful using nmap. Some ISPs
regard port scanning as cracking or a prelude to
cracking and may shut down your internet service. Nmap
is a cool tool but is also used by the "black hats" to
see what services are open so they can then attemp to
crack the box. 

 Just My $0.02
