Yes, Proventia & Realsecure have always been my favorite, though I
have looked longingly at Tipping Point (at least until they were
acquired by 3com then HP) of course even ISS is now pwned by IBM ;)

Proventia caught the serverRPC worm while it was still a 0-day
(confirmed by Symantec) when it had taken out 10 servers and would
have taken out the other 450 windoze servers before the day was out.
Though the 150 *NIX servers would have still be running fine of
course, even though the network would have been down with all the
windoze servers yakking...

But any IDS/IPS is going to have a lot of false-positives, which is
why, most of the time I feed it straight into a SIM for correlation
and just watch that dashboard.
