You are correct as far as basic email only systems on SIPR, but for the command and control functions they are still on NT 4.0. How do I know?? I work on them. Crypto is not the issue. Stability, compatibility, and standardization is the issue. Plus of coarse the government beauracracy of upgrading any large systems to higher standards. I remember when the government set the standards i.e. milspec products. Now ?????

I have the same problem. I have had several customers want to add USB devices to their NT 4.0 systems. We also are stuck with this OS as it is on a secure government network. Too bad the responses to your question were not informative. So here is what I have found so far, hopefully someone will verify or give constructive advice to this. USB support for NT 4.0 is almost non-existant but there are some PCMCIA video capture cards that are NT 4.0 compatible. I have not tried any yet but they should work. Unfortunately I have only two sites that give any details. www.premierelect.co.uk/pcvideo.html www.micronica.com.au/digvis/nogatech/capturev/index2.htm I am sure there are other products I haven't found. There is also another avenue that will make your USB port almost compatible with existing products. It is an emulation program from IP Networks. www.ionetworks.com/support/nt4doc.html I hope this is more helpful. If you or anyone else tries one of these products let me know. Russ
