Are ICMP packets important?

[Janina Sajka]

Strange. I have no idea what I did or how Alex' comments ended up in
that email. Guess I should give my computer coffee in the morning, too?

In any case, Speakup rejected the nmap report because it was over the 5K
limit. So, I'm sending it privately.

You might try to gen it yourself, though using:

nmap -P0 [your outside address]
