Corporate are all Winblows types and pretty dense at that ... we have
had numerous worms get through because of the way that they set
things up.  I don't think that they would even know the question when
put that way.  I may have to initiate a conversation with them....
escpecially since with the stuff that they have turned off it is
nearly impossible to be able to truely teach what I am suppose to
teach... Their approach to security seems to be keep it totally open
until there is a problem and then shut down some stuff in more of a
shotgun approach .... blocking some things and letting others through
on a seemingly random basis...
