hi, current IDS is somewhat like the black and white that roams your neighborhood.. it is there and able to detect those that make themselves known but .. that is about it IMHO.. so the cable co would have very little better tools than they have now.. Regards, dreamwvr () dreamwvr com
I agree with both sides of everyone's arguments. But everyone seems to be looking at security as denying/allowing access to/from the home user. This needn't be the case. ISPs could implement intrusion detection systems to trap and block attacks BEFORE they reach the home user. This wouldn't necessarily impair a users access to Internet resources. But would provide the home user with some level of protection if they can't afford a firewall or other security mechanisms themselves.

Millions of UNIX coders expressed relief for being spared the UNIX epoch "crisis" of 2038. _______________________________________________________________________ ************** DREAMWVR.COM - TOTAL INTERNET SERVICES **************** TOTAL DESIGN - DEVELOPMENT - INTEGRATION - SECURITY - Click Here.. <http://www.dreamwvr.com/services/MAX_SEC.html> DREAMWVR.COM - The Console of Many... 90 Topics Covered <http://www.dreamwvr.com/dynamicduo.html> <mailto:dreamwvr () dreamwvr com> ->> LINUX-MANDRAKE Solution Provider and North American Distributor <<- PRODUCT OF THE YEAR! <http://www.dreamwvr.com/mandrake/mandrake-main.html> "===0 PGP Key Available *************** "As Unique as the Company You Keep." ***************** "If anyone speaks from DREAMWVR.COM its certainly not me:-)" ________________________________________________________________________
