On 09 Jul 99  12:09:05, Ron was going on about "ADSL"...

 GD> Can anybody direct me to a website that describes ADSL security issues?
 GD> I have a person in my organization who wants to hang an ADSL modem off
 GD> his Mac while he's connected to our LAN.

 RB> ADSL is just a transport protocol, like Ethernet is.  If you're
 RB> concerned with security, you should be looking at the software used,
 RB> what kind of routing is being done, what connections are shared, etc.
 RB> Ask the ISP about DHCP, if there's a firewall in place and how it's
 RB> configured, and if there's a possiblility of IP spoofing.

Thanks, Ron.
