        You could have at least bothered to read the article first before
    making such silly assumptions.  WheelGroup's NetRanger was used by the
    IBM solution and Network Associates' CyberCop wasn't supplied by NA for
    some reason.  
    
        Their tests and criteria seemed reasonable thought out and
    applicable to the real world.  They did discuss issues like ease of use,
    interface, distributed management capabilities, reporting and other
    "meaningful criteria."  NFR/Anzen, RealSecure and the IBM solution with
    NetRanger all tied with Abirnet SessionWall taking fourth place.
    
        As for Marcus, he is quoted (as he often says here) that IDS is of
    questionable value.
    
        So, tell us who pooped on your parade?
