Re: How can I easily enable/disable remote access by User

[Luis Rodriguez <luis.rodriguez2@xxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Check out Easy400's site (www.easy400.net). They have some free utilities (with source code) that allows you to easily secure some TCP protocols, such as TCP and/or TELNET. 


Hope this helps.
