Greetings:

We're debating what is reasonable for a fortune 500 customer to demand from a 
high-end firewall vendor in terms of support, and have the following questions:

1.  What is the reasonable minimum for response time on a support contract?

2.  What are normal parameters for required escalation to a higher level of 
support?

3.  Is it reasonable to have an absolute contractual deadline for final issue 
resolution, and if so, what is a reasonable amount of time for this?



Please note that these questions are in support of the development of ICSA 
Labs Firewall Certification Criteria.  If you have strong feelings, here is 
your chance to let them be known.  We may solicit more input on related issues 
in the near future.


AL
