--- TIC-TECH message:
Hello,

Effective immediately, AOL tunnels through the district's firewall will be
blocked. The reason for the block is that the tunnels represent a severe
security risk, essentially bypassing all security provided by the district
firewall and opening district computers to unrestricted access from outside.

Blocking of AOL tunneling means that AOL clients cannot be used inside the
district network.

Thanks,
Judy
