Hmm... I don't think I want to spend the money for a Firebox, that's a totally different beast that I don't think I'd be getting my money out of it.
The NetScreen 5XP looks like it should do the trick and at 960 sessions a second that should be plenty overkill. -----Original Message----- From: Simon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 8:53 PM To: Scott Merritt; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: WatchGuard too wimpy, what do I need? *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* You might want to trade in the soho for the new Firebox III series as they are much higher class in terms of performance compared against the soho.
