This may be a good point.  I'm in the process of setting up Internet access
for a small company, so I've been looking into the issues a lot.  The
current plan is to use an Ascend Pipeline-50 to implement a 128K connection
to our IAP.  Since this router has some filtering capabilities, I won't even
be able to see any attacks that don't make it through the router.  Do I
care?  Not really, I just want to know what does make it through.

Since I'm still working my way through the Cheswick and Bellovin book, any
suggestions for the next layer of security will be greatly appreciated.
