This has improved markedly over the last few years (particularly as a result of ISP security people with inside contacts in the FBI educating them about these events), however getting law enforcement to care about computer crimes is still an uphill battle. Depending on who you talk to, you can get immediate all out response or it can sit long enough that there is no chance of getting anything done. I think that perhaps the best thing to bring to washington is the need for education of law enforcement. Not just special divisions but to give at least some idea to everyone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Bouchard [Immagine Your ] [email protected] [Company Name Here] Network Engineer ----------------------------------------------------------------------
