be compromised, then yer VLANs are worth squat.  Or are you reading

Three flaws though, in the one patch, old, patched, but, does dicredit the
statment that there have been *no* problems reported with their product.
One has to take into account the history of the company, which has only
recently taken to refocusing itself upon security being primary over toys
and trinkets.  Now folks are watching to see how much of a refocusing is
really implimented.  some are even demanding this be effective:

History, that's the key though.  It's kinda like a kid that screws up
badly in life, and then decides to go 'right' and be a decent little
fellow, and does not understand whay folks still look at him skeptically
and question his commitments when he sldies off the beaten path, he has
developed a history, and it can take a long time to overcome such
things...

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
