In view of the technical complexity of engineering "layers of security" on one's home or small business system, it seems that an entrepreneurial soul (who is a Computer Security Expert) could make a living at a business that works by offering the following "free initial service call." You agree to pay the Expert $0.00 if, after supplying him with your IP, he is unable to break into your system. If, on the other hand, he _is_ able to break in, and leave positive proof of the feat, you agree to pay $300, which then buys a basic level of System analysis and Solution. (Contractual details, safeguards against abuse, legal protections, &c., are left as an exercise to the budding businessman.) One incentive to pay the Expert is the thought of what might happen to your system if you renegged. :-) Dean
