Chuck,

Besides the fact, as has been laid out by many that there is no single
tools or set of tools for all the variable technologies you are trying to
track down, one of the biggest issues with a person tryin to tackle what
you are about to is determining your perimiter. And that can be a big
area of variation, depending upon the tools of potential attackers and
intruders upon your perimiter. How far does the noise travel from toys
not supposed to be present or poorly implimented. It will require more
the trodding about from office and hallway to office and hallway, and more
then a few walks about the parkinglot, with each and every toolset for
each and ever possible technology you intend upon tracking.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
