Abstract
A filter adaptor connects a computer to a network through a network connection. The network has a large plurality of broadcast type messages having a given protocol. Each of the broadcast messages has a destination field and a source field. The adaptor has a preference list of one or more fixed channels that the computer is capable of receiving. Each fixed channel has a channel identifier that is also listed in the preference list. Further, the filter adapter has a filtering process that monitors the source field and discards any message that does not have a source identifier in the source field that matches one of the channel identifiers on the preference list.
