Carl-Uno,

The minutes from the Boulder meeting do not reflect why this decision was
made. Can you enlighten me?

I could envision the following scenarios where this requirement would not
be necessary.

- IP level security is in place
- the entire conversation is on a private intranets behind firewalls
- the printer is designated as equivalent to a public fax machine.

This requirement increases implementation and execution costs for both
clients and servers.

Bob
