I have responsibilities at a small (approx 2200 user) liberal arts college. We have been slowly getting the expenditure to do appropriate upgrades to the network and IT infrastructure, usually the crisis du jour that finally makes it clear to the administration that, yes, they really do have to loosen the purse string. We have been dodging various bullets related to a) having one T1 line and b) the students have Napster/Gnutella/Scour. Things have come to a head, and we are looking to shift access control from router access control lists to a true firewall in order to get the benefits of logging, stateful connection handling and the like. The question: can anyone compare a) the Cisco PIX with b) the Cisco 3620/2620 with Cisco Firewall software? Also: - does the Pix support something like WIC of the 3620 wherein you can put in an integrated CSU/DSU card? - Will a PIX handle the full bandwidth of a T3 line. We are now going to 3 T1 lines, but may someday shift to T3. - Would someone please compare the 3620 vs. 2620 for this situation? // "I build my cars to go, not to stop", Ettore Bugatti // Stewart Dean Kingston, NY - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
