I'm familiar with it. I did a product review for them of their e-Gap (TM)
system and have provided consulting services for them. They use a really
fast, toggling memory device. They demonstrated this at The Internet
Security Conference in Boston. They were also handing out a technical white
paper I wrote.
I think it is quite elegant and simple a solution. It seems to be fast
enough and at any instant in time there is a probable disconnect between
the networks (really two different machines on two different networks).
There web page has more information than you seem to have, so perhaps you
didn't dig down enough. Go to their home page
(http://www.whalecommunications.com/) and click on Air Gap Technology.
(This is not a firewall product, though can be used with firewalls.
Prolonged discussion maybe should be taken off list or with Whale.)
