Locally we are running a Bridge COmmunications network with XNS (soon to 
be switched to TCP-IP. There has recently been discussion concerning the
attachment of Personal Computers directly to the ethernet and some feel 
that this presents a threat to the security of our data. I am seeking 
information about security mechanisms that are available for ethernet.
It should be noted that currently no single device has direct access to 
the ethernet. All users are Asynchronous terminals. I would appreciate hearing
from any vendors that deal in this type of security systems. Thanks in
Advance.
