Network a network?!? I beg to differ. Ever hack the class A telephone
network? I doubt it cause we (the public) don't have access to it. What
about satellite networks? Sure different from phone or Fiber nets.
However, I do agree that Adama would never allow ship operations to be
connected to a network, except for the time he did, in order to trap a
Cylon.
