In response to the question about possible network security problems and a
wireless connection, I offer this response from one of our networking guys:

"As long as the user has a valid, non-duplicate ip number, they are part of
our
net. We keep the wireless users separate, and can monitor any of them as
necessary. If any try something stupid like port scans, etc, we are notified
and take appropriate action."
