let's be fair here. here were the two recommendations: watchguard 4500 prices run somewhere over $7000 US netscreen 208 list price in the neighborhood of $15000 US not boosting gb here, but i frankly wonder at the utility of an article that compares products with such a wide range of price and performance. it's also a little disappointing that the article didn't mention the gb-flash option - if the cpu in the gb-1000 isn't good enough, build your own box with, say, a P4/1.8GHZ box or whatever. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
