[IMC-Tech] Re: [rfu-automation] WRFU Computer Plans

[Joe Futrelle]

We have to ensure that hackers can't take control of our transmitter.  
Which is why we shouldn't just enable Remote Desktop on the  
automation machine without the appropriate network policies in place-- 
and if we want to access it from outside the IMC network, it should  
probably be on a VPN or similarly-secured arrangement. dan, was that  
what you had in mind?
