RE: Newspaper Article about Cable Modem security

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
