I haven't had any experience with it yet but we've had salesmen from Fatpipe
and Radware in for meetings and we decided to go with Radware. We will be
implementing it sometime in the next six months and I'll be sure to post our
results to the list.

| John,
|
| Do you know anything about the Radware linkproof unit that you mentioned

| I read the gumpf, but I also read that there wasn't anyone around that
had
| actually implemented this.
|
| Any ideas, experience with this unit?
