I don't follow. I support a SCADA network now and it is a completely
separate network. The only way to get to it is to be on it - in the
main control room or one of the CT control rooms. The client has 3
plants, each plant has two plant loops. One loop is for SCADA and the
other for the corporate network. Nothing is shared between them.

As for Windows, we're just now rolling out new machines running
Windows - and they do have all the whistles and bells that the old
systems didn't have.
