What I really like is some corporations embracing instant messaging for internal use. I think that having a private corporate IM server for the corporate users to connect to would be a great way to increase productivity. However, on the same hand, I would fear the end-users being able to connect to AIM, ICQ, MSN, etc. That would open up way to many holes. I mean really...what good is going to come of user being able to connect to an instant messenger. Who do they need to talk to outside of the corporation during working hours?

More and more holes in IM are showing up everyday. If you let IRC on your network then you are asking for trouble. As for streaming audio, have you looked at the % of bandwidth they use? If you have a fairly utilized pipe or (like most companies) are paying for bandwidth then that is a consideration. Just my $0.02. Duncan -----Original Message----- From: Steven A.

NBAR was built for stuff like that, but I don't feel there's a need to block this type of stuff. Same with IM. Let the users have some use of their PC and increase productivity.
