Hello Dave -
Interesting - we see lots of new customers coming from Steel-Belted -
I'm sure some of them will have comments to make.
We haven't done a comparison ourselves, however perhaps someone on
the list has done such a comparison and would be willing to share it
with us?
As you say below - "wireless", "VPN/tunnel" and "broadband" are good
buzz words, what they generally mean is "wireless" - either wireless
LAN (802.11) or WAP for GPRS G3 mobile telephones, "VPN/tunnel" -
normal VPDN L2TP layer 2 PPP tunnel, and "broadband" - PPPoE PPP over
ethernet for cable or xDSL. Radiator is currently deployed and
operational in all these environments. Most of the major telco's in
Europe and Asia use Radiator for all these applications.
And you are also correct in mentioning the additional capabilities
that Radiator has regarding time-of-day, session databases, and
sophisticated port-limit checking.
If I can provide any further information just let me know.
cheers
Hugh
