Well, just to clarify, I run a couple of small networks. Our traffic is measured and paid for accordingly, staff listening to internet radio is a waste of money. I actually do not enforce many blocked ports, and prefer to manage traffic by educating staff about security, and about resposible use of resources. I work for a non-profit org, we are always trying to save money. anyway, from an IT point of view I 'd prefer users to not try to find way to get round security. It's just plain rude. mj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
