That is of course your company's choice, and one that is not patently unreasonable.
The subject at hand is ISV demos. I think most ISVs make their mainframes more accessible, for example to home-based developers. Why? It's important to their business, they don't have billion dollar transactions on the mainframe, and yes, perhaps because they are run more by the technologists and less by the security auditors. Also on this topic, regarding Wireless Internet cards for laptops: - The Sprint service I believe includes a free card -- well, "free" if not free. - Verizon offers unlimited high-speed EV-DO access for $59.95/month at least under some circumstances -- because that is what I pay. As I recall I just had to ask for the sixty buck plan rather than the eighty buck plan.

Virus scanned or not, it doesn't matter.
