You're expecting me to obtain one of those things for my system at home? And assuming that password type capable access protection is the only kind of protection I care about.

Well, not exactly. I was thinking along the lines of something a little larger than 'home' access. :-)

Lets be a little reasonable please - access filters aren't dead yet (I would like to see them vanish, and I would hope that one day that might happen, today isn't that day).

I will believe this has happened when cisco no longer support packet filtering in their routers.

My point was that filtering on source addresses is not exactly the most secure method of access control. - paul
