Case in point: a few gigs back we got hit by Slammer on the inside
of our firewalled network.  It wasn't ourselves.  It was a visiting
vendor or some such who brought it in on his own laptop and it
spread when he plugged it into our network.

Not trying to open a rathole, but are any of ya'll dealing
with "consumerization"?  ("Bring-your-PC-to-work," etc.)


Everyone wants to connect their iPad or phone... so we got a
cheap cable modem from Comcast, wired up a WiFi router, and
let them play.

You don't really need a separate uplink - just connect the visiting hardware upstream of the firewall.
