I've done some work with the 3005 connecting to software-based clients. It's a nice box. The 3.X "Unity" client is the best client I've used (also supports OSs other than Windows) -- configuration is very simple on end-user side -- config parameters are downloaded from the concentrator. Has the best web-based interface I've seen on a Cisco box (because Cisco didn't do it -- came from Altiga). :-)
I originally was going to go with a PIX using 6.X software because these do all the firewall stuff *and* supports the 3.X client. However, and they don't tell you this *anywhere*, although the PIX does now support the 3.X client, it's missing a lot of the important features such as IPSec through UDP and TCP tunnels (important for remote sites using NAT/PAT). Hopefully this will be fixed soon Jon ================================================= 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] =================================================
