I am fairly new to this list and the firewall world and missed the talk
about the NAI Guantlet having serious vulnerabilities.  Can someone fill me
in please?

Never heard of effnet firewall. I recommend going with a name brand like
Cisco PIX and Checkpoint.

In the last 6 months, there has been many vulnerabilities found in all
commercial firewalls.
It seemed like NAI Gauntlet had the most serious vulnerabilities, then
Checkpoint, then Cisco PIX. 

You may want to research the firewall you are buying for vulnerabilities and
make sure the patches and corrections are applied.
