Hi Frank,

The situation you are describing sounds like we may all soon have to have firewalls built in at the client level. If the desktops run to an on-prem concentrator (as opposed to a DSLAM) wouldn't it be the case that everyone's desktop is "available" to everyone else in the building (similar to the neighborhood security issue with cable). Even with paswords, unless the user is setting up a VPN and accessing the corporate net (and the Internet) that way wouldn't someone with a relatively unsophisticated sniffer be able to not only read other's e-mail but potentially their hard drives as well?
