Here are some interesting sites that will show you information about 
your net connection:

http://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 A commercial site. Click on the 
"Test My Shields" and then the "Probe My Ports" buttons.

https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html How strong is your browser's encryption?

http://www.ipid.net/ If you have Javascript enabled, you can get info 
about your screen size, etc...

And of course, my own office's site: http://snoop.cdt.org/ . Just 
click on the "You" link.

If anyone knows of any others, I would appreciate getting the URL. 
Thanks, Michael
