[Asterisk-Users] Firewall will definately increase jitters inyourvoice conversation

[Rich Adamson]

That's a crack of crap sold by the marketing (not sales) people selling
firewalls. "If" you know what you're doing, one can very easily secure any
linux system to function on the Internet (etc) without a firewall. It all
depends on your level of knowledge/skills on how to disable those items
that are not really needed in your environment. Start with a 'netstat -a'
to identify those ports that are listening, and shut those items down that
you don't want exposed.

You "can" do the same for any MS system as well.
