A very graphical interface that can do all sorts of adhoc queries and quickly home in on what has changed across your network.

]]> Comment on VoIP and security by Paul Kirshner http://blog.athenasecurity.net/2008/12/09/voip-and-security/#comment-693 Paul Kirshner Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:06:37 +0000 http://blog.athenasecurity.net/?p=59#comment-693 Wow! What a site. You have a real knack for making a blog readable and easy on the eyes. Some sites look like train wrecks, but not this site - it's a pleasure to read. I find VoIP very interesting. I have learned a lot in implementing a small VoIP network at home, and am thinking of starting VoIP business in my area. There are a number of small businesses in my region that would benefit from it greatly. Wow! What a site. You have a real knack for making a blog readable and easy on the eyes.
