Paula,
OK.. What do you find as the best SOFTWARE based firewall?? We all have our own opions on the different ones. Most of us agree that Black Ice is a joke. ZA is getting to the point that it is under the same as BI. On that same note who does a good firewall, Switch combo? I know you work for sonicwall.. but who did you use before you went to work for them?? When did Symantec buy SonicWall?? They are buying up everyone. Pretty soon you will only be able to get MS, Symantec products. Everyone else will be gone..
