Well...I tried to post the source code to a program I'd written
to a local USENET board here at CWRU...the program demonstrated how to put 
packets onto and take packets off of our campus wide ethernet.

The program was summarily deleted from the board and I was..well...looks
like they threatened me.....anyway....the message follows....please feel
free to write to the the fellow who deleted the program "jag@po.cwru.edu",
and his boss "rkn@po.cwru.edu".

We have removed a posting by "cjs" of a program that allows one to send raw    
Ethernet packets.  We suggest that users NOT attempt to use this or any        
similar program to send raw packets on the network.  We remind users that      
any disruption of the network through the use of such programs, intentional    
or not, is considered a violation of the University's ethics policy.           
Anyone found violating that policy will be brought up on charges to the        
appropriate University office.  Such activity will result in disciplinary      
action up to and including dismissal from the institution.                     


Jeff
