Hi,
We are currently looking at the Watchguard box and it seems pretty good.
That said I'd suggest you work out precisely what your requirements are and then
assess the technology on that basis. I'm of the belief that for most medium sized
companies any of the major firewalls will suffice and of far more significance is the
knowledge level and preparedness (sp?) of the person/people administering the box. So
depending on whether it will be yourself or a consultancy that looks after the
firewall system that should be your main focus of attention.
There is the firewalls FAQ which should be your first literature stop. The standard
books are Cheswick&Bellovin and the O'Reilly book 'Building Internet Firewalls'.......
Good Luck,
steve
