Er... I don't know about you, but I run Snort on an electronic computer. 
What do you run Snort on that makes you think this will /never/ affect you? 
:-)

Incidentally, last time I saw a Cisco IDS sensor, it was a re-badged Dell 
PowerEdge (literally - there was a black sticker covering the Dell logo). 
Based on the results of a Google image search, this looks as though it's 
still the case for the 4235 and 4250.

Best Regards,
Alex.
