    I fully support getting a box out there wherever you can, just with
    the small amount of this I get to do I have been able to learn a bit,
    though I look forward to the ability to have a box further outside of
    a network.

    In fact when I was at the 5th HOPE in NYC this past summer I saw a fun
    Presentation on the use of a HoneyPot to actively attack hackers that
    would try to take the Pot over. It was real fun to picture someone
    sitting on the other end of the line suddenly getting shutdown and
    owned. I'm sure it puts a smile on many people's faces.

    have fun,
    Kinnell
