If I was to send a suspected virus or fraud email to an officer (any officer) you cannot filter and discard the bad boy bits at the firewall. That would be tampering with evidence. Your internet 'guys' will need a mix of boxes to safely receive, inspect and archive evidence files. For some productivity reasons you will need M$ boxes but for other reasons you will need a MIX of inspection, archival and backup resources. Also, outward facing tools and web pages need to be accessible by the community. Same as wheel chair access, and just the same set of reasons that cause ballots to be printed in eleven languages in California. Public documents will need to be equally accessible to all as technology permits. You as a 'manager' will need to be vigilant for such interoperability and accessibility in your work ;-) -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
