still do, however they're all firewalled and AFAIK nothing
can get in, even collaborators wanting to use the machines.
I think the mail machine is the only thing accepting
connections from the outside world. There are webservers

Getting out you can only go to 23,80 and 443 and passive ftp.
nntp and ssh have been shut down - they're not govt approved.
