Can you explain this a little more?  We have a few 4240's in place now 
(not inline, obviously), and we're looking forward to 5.0 (though 
getting more and more annoyed at the slipping ship dates), so I'd love 
to go ahead and get a head start on some of the new features.

And while I'm at it, am I totally missing a way to get a look at the 
actual packets that trigger the alerts?
