Whoah....hold on just one second here - "Axent has been in the business of
IDS longer than any commercial product?"

Before I put my foot in my mouth, what exactly are you saying?  That Axent
has had IDS products longer then other vendors, or that Axent has been in
business longer then other vendors?

I know NetProwler (originally) came from an acquisition and is less then
2 years old - didn't ITA come from an acquisition too?  And "maturity that
is unrivaled?"  Wow - bold statement considering the people on this list.
:)

Let's not get carried away here....unless I'm way off on my
understanding....
