Hi all This is has not directly to do with LEAF, but I think some of you will find these products interesting. One year ago, a swiss company called "LIGHTNING" announced their Linux based products at the Orbit in Basel, Switzerland. Their firewalls were the first Linux based products for home/small business users I knew of. (Noone else at the Orbit had similiar products). Our company ordered some because lots of our customers decided to replace their ISDN internet access with a cablemodem.
After one year (10 Lightning routers/firewalls later), I must say that these products are very good. Stable and you won't miss a feature. They have the following features: -You can define as much ipfilter rules as you want. -graphical config interface (java based, runs on Win/Mac/Linux) -They don't "hide" features because they think you are stupid and won't be able to configure a firewall properly -You can configure all parameters which 2.4 kernels support (burst, state and so on) -DHCP, PPPoE, IPSec -Web based config/monitoring/firmware updates -RIP v1/v2, SNMP, Syslog There is one with a DMZ interface and one w/o. But their DMZ stuff is very new and not well documented. They also don't support ProxyARP DMZ or static NAT DMZ. Private DMZ is no problem and routed shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, they don't have a distributor in the US. Only Europe and India. The products are called "Ethernet II" and "Ethernet III".

We get the Ethernet II for about US$375 (CHF 600) and the Ethernet III for about US$940 (CHF 1500). --- Sandro Minola | LEAF Developer (http://leaf.sourceforge.net) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.minola.ch | http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sminola - worldcontrol:~ # rm -rf /bin/laden _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
