     David,
        Thank you for the note on the NT vulnerability.  I need to verify 
     the existence of the vulnerability, the article lacked those details.
     Until the government stop buying this type of software (i.e. 
     precompiled, no source code) we will have to live with this type of 
     problem.  I'm starting a laboratory here at Ft. Monmouth to test 
     IPsec, IPver6, and open software (LINUX, and BSD) in a tactical 
     environment.  I'd be happy to work with anyone at the university that 
     is working on making these systems more reliable, robust, survivable, 
     ... (you get the idea). I'm also reading the Trust in Cyberspace book, 
     it's similar to the Computers at Risk book also from the National 
     Research Council.
     
     Cheers,
        Tony Barnes
