Wow, I didn't even know that section of the site existed. It's at https://usercenter.checkpoint.com/usercenter/index.jsp and then "My Profile" across the top on the right, and "Certifications" on the second line on the left. _Horrible_ design, how one is supposed to find that is beyond me.
I'm having CP link my certs to my account so I can have a look-see. Thanks for taking the time to confirm the location of that doc!

Go into the Access Benefits section, Resources and Technical Resources. Obviously I can't email it to anyone because of where it's at, but I'm sure your reseller could get you a copy. It's titled Backwards Compatibility and Cross Protections and is dated 01-apr-2005.
