[Twisted-Python] Re: Newbie Question about PB and Firewalls

[Patrick Gilmartin]

Thanks for quick your response.  I finally realize the errors in my logic regarding client side firewall settings.

I look forward to becoming proficient with Twisted and incorporating it into overall IT infrastructure.

Thanks again,

Patrick
