We route via an Intranet at the DGH which itelf is firewalled and then
through Bristol - so I think we have some protection - or so they tell
me - this is a project with the Centre for health Informatics ( I think
I have the name right) - and they tell me it is safe. I am told our
router in the practice may also provide a type of firewall (I'm not a
techie really so I can only repeat what I am told on this).
Some of the Aberystwyth people lurk - can you comment or find someone
that can - perhaps Simon Thompson - he seems to have scarey knowledge
and ability (along with being a good bloke).
Cheers :)
