I ordered the Solaris version and received a single CD-ROM that installs
on all supported platforms (Unix and Win32). At first, I didn't find the
distribution files for Solaris (the box came with NT docs, but I checked
with the vendor, that I received a licence that is valid on Solaris).

To my surprise, the Linux version on that media was 3.6, while the Solaris
version was still at 3.5!

Anyway, I tried the Linux version on a 4.2-STABLE box, just to compare the
performance to that of our productive system, and found that the Linux 
version works just fine.

Well, if you know about rc files and are not afraid to use symbolic links
between file systems, all should be well ;-)

I even considered creating a FreeBSD port, that installs VirusWall from a
CD-ROM ...

My trial period is over, but I have not yet de-installed the software from
my test box, so I may help get you started, in case you find any problems.

My only nit is, that you can't bind VirusWall to a single interface. My
firewall architecture requires strictly independent configurations for 
incoming and outgoing messages. For that reason, I have separate instances
of VirusWall for either direction, and it required some magic to get all
the parts working together on a single box.
