As far as I can see, the Fore only supports a small subset of Firewall-1 
capability. (No security servers. No user authentication. No NAT. No UDP 
state tracking.) In fact, the product descriptions make it sound like all 
you get at 'wire speed' is "established" checking. Firewall throughput is 
important, but security should be more important, IMHO.
