i even did the manual upgrade from FP3 to R54. i knew of all the upgrade tools, heard the success stories of doing it, and the lack of problems as a result. i was fortunate to have new hardware for my mgmt station which i installed splat. i also had a third fw that i could test pushes. in the long run the exercise helped me get a grasp of the policy and to weed out anything that was stale or just stupid. -r ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
