I think Altavista used to provide AXP-based firewalls, but I doubt it's still an option. Outside of changing OS' (Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD all have AXP ports- though if it's an EISA system with the Mylex RAID stuff based off the DAC960[1], only NetBSD has driver support and that's listed as "untested") and using freeware tools or the firewall toolkit, you're probably out of luck. NT on the Alpha is dead- so I would seriously consider changing the OS. I'm not aware of any OSF/1 (or whatever they're calling it today- oh Tru64) firewalls, or any VMS based firewalls- so that leaves you with the traditional *BSD or Linux packet filtering, the various open-source proxies and the TIS firewall toolkit (though I haven't tried an AXP compile of the fwtk.) If you're into Linux, I recommend Debian as the best distro for an AXP machine[2]. Paul [1] If it's a Sable or GammaSable it'll have this as well as potentially another widely recognized SCSI card. I'm not sure about the rest of the line. [1a] It's because it needs an EISA backend, the Free- Open- and Linux DAC960 stuff is all PCI. [2] They seem to be actively supporting AXP, I'm not sure anyone else is, though I admit to not looking at SuSE for a while. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
