Many years ago, when the risks of TCP/IP were first suspected (the perceived hazard then was information theft), someone suggested hereabouts that only authorized data administrators should be allowed use of TCP/IP. No, was the counter, people with such authority should be forbidden TCP/IP, which shoulc be allowed only to users with weak, harmless IDs and no access to sensitive data. Years ago, at the height of the Good Times virus hoax, the conventional and correct wisdom was that viruses spread only by floppy disks, not by email. Microsoft and others jumped in to fill that void. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
