How familiar are you with MS Proxy? It wasn't a firewall and wasn't marketed
as a firewall. It offered some features in common with firewall products,
but it was a *proxy*.

ISA is not MS Proxy. How much clearer do I have to be? I don't recall saying
anything beyond what you quoted above. When did Microsoft submit MS Proxy
for ICSA certification? When did Microsoft market MS Proxy as a *firewall*?

Do you people ever actually have constructive discussions, or is there some
point in playing pedantic semantics all day?
