Tom,
You want opinions, go to http://securepoint.com/fw/
or http://lists.gnac.net/firewalls/archive.html and
search on 'intrusion detection'. Look through
the list of responses dated somewhere in the last 4
months. I think it was back in August that many
expressed their opinions.
Also read the threads on "Intrusion detection- fact
or fiction"
