Hello Bill,

I do, but as a firewall product??? No, to me it is a security system similar
to RACF for the IBM MVS computers (System 360/370/390), it runs on releases
370, XA and ESA.   But it controls local access within the computer for
different adress spaces to files etc. It is an ACL system, not a firewall
product. But - of course, it could have been extended making it possible to
use a MVS system as a firewall, rather it should intecept with the NJE
subsystem?? But this is not regular TCP/IP. 

There is a special TCPIP system adress space in the MVS which possibly could
intercept with a Top Secret system??? I dunno, there are many years since I
was concerned with MVS systems.

Regards, 

Axel

        Ang�ende:  Firewall Product "TopSecret"? 



        Ever heard of a firewall product called "TopSecret?"  I dunno
anything
        more than a name and that it's supposed to be a firewall.

        Thanks for the help.  I looked throughout the DejaNews and various
common
        search engines... so I figured I'd come here and ask.

        Bill
