Go find a company that writes process control software (preferably the one
they plan to use) and talk to them. Ditto goes for SCADA systems, many of
which have tcp-ip capabilities, with many now having capabilities such as
emailing reports, directly from RTU's!. Generally speaking the security on
this stuff is bad, the primary method being to seperate it heavily, which
may or may not work (dialup, VPN's, etc.).
