Umm.. hate to break it to you, but the design was for an *open* research
network. If you said "you'd be exposing data to the commies", the overall
reaction would have been "Wow.. Success". :)

Remember that the whole *idea* was that everything connected to the
Arpanet was there because it's purpose in life was to be accessible to
as many people as possible - it's where the "Information wants to be free"
meme *came* from.

How do you sell "security and lock it down" to the comp center director
who is intentionally burning through several million dollars a year to
make the site as open as possible to the world? ;)
