In other words, it is a physical security problem, not a design flaw in the Alcatel product. It would be equivalent to someone booting a Linux server from floppy, patching the kernel to install their own exploits, and then claiming a hole in Linux. No system can be secure if physical security is compromised. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
