Intel has been hyping their vPro technology on laptops and desktops as  
being capable of doing this securely. The catch of course being that  
you have to have the hardware which support vPro. In our discussions  
of doing this we were toying with the idea of blocking all packets  
except those that came from a specific IT centric address range. That  
discussion though did not get very far out of the theoretical arena.
