Is there such a thing as a web site that will test my firewall
when I connect and request it?

I'm on a dialup PPP, but I've also caught several attempts against
my machine with tcp-wrappers, so have set up ipchains. I used the
somewhat paranoid rules set up at http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net, but
adapted for ppp. It's not easily feasible for me to run Saint or
some such against my own machine, but I'd like to test, if I could.

Thanks,

Try this site http://www.dslreports.com/ and click on the Secure Me linl. It
will be only a partial test unless you subscribe and you can only do this test
once on a given IP, again, unless you subscribe. I was also lucky enough to
find a knowledgeable tech at my ISP that was able to send out a barrage of
signals trying to get past my firewall...
