Andy,

#our current front runner Sidewinder 5.1
I am a big fan of the Sidewinder. It has an incredible amount of
flexibility. I like the Type Enforcement stuff. It has a large number of
application layer proxies. The HTTP and FTP proxies are pretty
configurable for allowing or denying different http or ftp commands. The
new GUI is pretty nice and the new software with the drivers for better
hardware and other improvements in the kernel really speed up the
Sidewinder. I have a new Compaq DL380 with dual 933mhz processors, 1 gig
of ram, 64-bit network cards, ect. and it doesn't even breathe heavy
checking the same amount of traffic that kept a Sidewinder V4.1 on a Compaq
3000 constantly busy. I have written more e-mails about the Sidewinder on
this list and the firewall-wizards list that you can take a look at.
Customer support usually ranges from pretty good to excellent if you are
talking to the guys at Secure Computing. If you have any specific
questions feel free to email me.
Regards,
Jeffery Gieser
