In an interview today in a Stockholm paper with a technical spokes- person for Hewlett-Packard (about the HP internal net with 19 worldwide connections to the Internet - by the way, allegedly no one has ever succeeded in breaking their firewalls) it was
"allegedly". Well I suppose you don't need to break the HP firewall to get past it, so I guess that could be an appropriate statement. (I adminned a few of their firewalls for a short time on contract while the person who was normally in charge of them was away. Calling it a firewall is a stretch of the word-- They allow telnets from sites at berkeley.edu and stanford.edu with reusable passwords, for one example.)
