LBB?  Linux Router with stateful inspection?  Cisco "Gibson" watching your
connection?  Guess what?  Some Jackass in the sales department just plugged
a Wireless Access Point into your network without talking to anyone in IT
and your wonderful firewall is now meaningless.  Guys, please put this
thread to bed.  There's been alot of opinions thrown about and read by the
people asking for them.  Let them decide which route to go and accept that
your view may not be accepted as law...it's kinda how these things go....
Can we get back to the business of "peer assistance" that this list is meant
for and leave the "leg pissing" to other lists?
