Any corporate network manager who relies on a network service provider
for the security of his hosts is begging to be whacked. Connecting a
network is no different in that regard than putting a dialup modem on
your host with a connection to your local telco - they won't provide
you with any host security - that's your problem. A network service
provider may be able to *assist*, but reliance on them is, at best,
extremely unwise.
