Anyone familiar with Ciscos Network Admission Control (formerly Cisco Clean
Access, formerly Perfigo), Juniper Infranet, Symantec Network Access Control
or similar software/appliances?



Like many schools, we have a 1:1 ration of computers to students. We'd like
to avoid letting vulnerable or malware-infected systems onto our network
while simultaneously addressing the infection or vulnerability. Almost all
of our systems are running Windows XP or Windows 2000.



I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with these or similar
solutions. Any open-source solutions that you know of?



Thanks in advance,



David Boyer
