Few comments
- Locking down ME / 95 / 98 is effectively impossible
- new hardware for ME / 95 / 98 / Win 7 etc will become increasingly hard to find
- orders are not a security policy. Ask Mr/Ms Manning :-(
- Add a bit of unauthorised hardware with wifi, and it will clearly have access to the internet, thereby bridging the air and water gaps handily.
I'm a fan of having a Wifi controller and proper firewall and proxy purely on the basis you need to know what's going on. Old apps exist, but porting them to virtual machines or containers gets you out of the nightmare that's unsupported hardware.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
