    Some devices require logging to function.  When using tcp and a problem
    develops on the syslog server the device sending syslogs will stop
    functioning, Cisco PIX firewall is one such device.

    I for one would love to start sending syslog data via TCP. What's the
    technical low-down of this suggestion you're talking about? (Sorry, recently
