        That's just my take on it... 


        - Kyle, Don't forget the 'snort' folks have just as much of a vendor 
presence as TippingPoint or any other IDS vendor. TippingPoint _may_ be trying 
to encourage use of their tool for IDS evolution as a whole  much like snort 
has yet still has hopes they will get some benefit from their free tool.

        Now do you have any pcaps to contribute to snort or the rest of us 
packetninjas?
