I hear ya, but in fairness new software requires new hardware architecture, and that's just one component. For example, I just upgraded a few 100s from 2.61 to 4.00, uploaded the config and my base memory allocations was about 65% before sending any frames across the interfaces. :)
That said, I think these devises could have been marketed better to legacy installations .... who needed exact redundancy as an example. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:36 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Firewall Recommendation So lets say the model type is 2-3 years old. I still contend that it is BS that they drop software support for this so quickly. This isn't some $25 video card. This thing cost at least a couple of grand. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew S.

Too bad they won't upgrade you to an NS25, though.

I have an NS10 that is about a year old. NS has recently released the 4.0 version of their software. Apparently they have decided not to update this model since it has discontinued it. That really sucks. I have an open software / service contract with them. It would appear that they are going to choose to discontinue software updates for discontinued models. Considering they disco models at the rate of about 1 a month, this could be a real problem down the road for a lot of folks. Sonicwall promises software upgrades for free, essentially forever. Even old PIX's can be updated with a little work. I will think twice before purchasing a NS again. It's a real shame, it's a killer product. But if you can keep the OS up to date on a FW, it will eventually become a boat anchor. -----Original Message----- From: Byron Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 9:48 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Firewall Recommendation I've used a bunch of these. All have their strengths and weakness. 1. Netscreen 2. Sonicwall 3. Symantec's new VPN Appliance I really love what netscreen is doing with their systems. Support structure is still hashing out issues/practices, but these appliances smoke and are easy to set up/integrate. Hit me off-line if you want more info. Good luck -----Original Message----- From: Fanta, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 6:30 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Firewall Recommendation How about a simpler or cheaper firewall/vpn solution.
