Not since the invention of the spell checker...*snicker*....Sidewinder in the beginning was crap..OK up till 3.X. 4.X has gotten better. FW-1 Is the big one and it has the respect of the industry. I have used Sidewinder and though it is good if I had to choose it would be FW-1 ...Why becuase I can get FreeBSD and make my own Firewall. Though it would not be as good as SCS's but at least it would not have cost me anything. LOL.... I use the FreeBSD at home with my cable modem.

It was sort of joke, because I quite honestly thought sidewinder was a
memory. You never hear about it anymore, and I was surprised to see someone
compare it to THE firewall market leader. I will exercise due dilligance
and research it to rectify my ignorance, but I still don't think it's in any
danger of beating out FW-1.
And I know it's Yugo... don't you ever make typo's?
