Craig,
Great to hear from you.. Long time no hear. I am so glad old the old
lurkers are now all of suddenly posting :)
Actually Gauntlet 5.5 does care about the O/S. Try installing Gauntlet
5.5 on Solaris 7. It plain does not work especially if one uses their
documentation.
Hey NAI please update your docs.. :)

how very vendor of you ;)
the fact is that gauntlet really doesn't care that much about what the os
is
doing with its socket calls, so one could run a firewall quite happily on
solaris with gigabit cards. with that said, i'm not sure that the
performance
requirement would work with gauntlet (or most other firewall products) at
anything approaching full gigabit speeds.
are there any products out there that "don't suck(tm)" which support --
and
deliver -- gigabit speeds without turning into pure packetfilters?
