After speaking to a couple sysadmins here on campus, none of us are
aware of such a policy.  Mr. Reed, is there another source other than
the satn article for this?  I do remember reading somewhere how a set
of default firewall rules would be rolled out to the dorms (making a
few people unhappy, nontheless!), but have seen nothing that would
affect us here at SIMS or at CS.

(I could very well have missed this if recent!)

thanks, Joe
