Basically I see it like this:
Would you put a PC/Workstation that has access to your Domain and Network in
a freely public location like a Train Station or Bus Stop?
That's how I feel about having MetaFrame exposed to the internet directly
via 1494.
If someone hits your MetaFrame Box on 1494 from the Internet they will be
sitting at your MS Gina and I just don't want that out there.
We actually go a step further and force Token Authentication before we even
present the Web Interface to the users.
