Certainly could be. My avg insists on connecting to the mail server
separately from the mail client. It only takes
a few tabs to open in firefox too and before you know it - there's 20
outbound connections. Having said that - a router should be able to handle
this shouldn't it? Or should I be thinking about a new router?
