I know that this probably isn't quite on topic, so please send replies
directly to me.
I'm part of a small committee that is going to select a consultant to
design (and implement parts of) a firewall for a medium sized
educational institution located in central Iowa. The selection process
will be just through an informal interview/sales pitch - there will be
no formal bidding process for any consulting services.
We're looking at CheckPoint's FireWall-1 or Novell BorderManager as
the firewall platform. The final decision on platform will in part be
based upon the consultant that we select. We use Novell NetWare for
our file/print servers and Nortel Networks equipment for our
routers/switches.
If you are a consultant, or would like to recommend a consultant
please feel free to contact me for more details. Note that we will
require an in-person interview before selecting a consultant so keep
that in mind.
