    Dude! Don't get us started on *that* again :)

    Imho, an inline IDS is a subset of those devices that some call
    Intrusion Prevention Systems. It can be defined as a device that
    inspects traffic like an intrusion detection system, and denies/blocks
    or allows/passes traffic like a firewall. Inline IDS or gateway IDS.

    But sure, it can prevent intrusions. ;)

    Cheers,
    Frank
