I didn't know that was there... what version does it start?
I get lots of probes... can I run this detector on port-22 (on the
outside) as well?

With the 3800s having dried up, I'm now really concerned... what if my
device blows up?  and I've got nothing to experiment with.

I was planning to buy more in the new year (now), but I didn't do it
fast enough.  Given that they have dried up now, I'm thinking that I
need to go back and replace my 3800 with something else that can run
cerowrt, or at least can run the QOS scripts.   
I am not happy running my firewall as a VM, but I certainly could do
that...
