    But won't I be able to create an ACL based on ports in the IOS?
    I can harden the systems/services if I can just restrict ports, I don't need
    a firewall if I can do that.

    About how much are support contracts from Cisco? And if I get one does that
    only include the firmware, or do I get to bother a low level tech on the
    phone too?
