Hi
I`m not sure if this is the right forum but here goes anyway. I`ve noticed
that most of you use FW-1. I am currently looking at implementing a firewall
and have tested the Lucent solution ("The Brick") which I found easy to
implement as well as having a high level of security. I would appreciate any
advice on experiences regarding solutions and suppliers as well as gradings
on the different solutions.
Kind Regards
Anton Heyns
