Alltel. Efficient Speedstream 5200 and 5600 series. ICSA 3.0a standards
outbound, with no inbound connections accepted.
I was quite shocked myself. I don't think the policy has penetrated their
entire network by any means, but pretty much all customers who have signed
up in the last 6 months or so have it. I first noted it because of the
issues with Citrix ICA connectivity I mentioned earlier. Then a quick survey
of a number of folks revealed that it was pretty much a standard package
now.
