I kind of caught the middle of the thread, but wouldn't an appliance box not use a Hard Drive. Something more along the lines of Non-Volatile memory, like the PIX.
I'm not opposed to Firewalls having Hard Drives, I run many like that myself. But, if you are going to install a firewall in front of a large network, where the firewall is the only way out, I'd want the least amount of moving parts in that device. Just a thought is all. -----Original Message----- From: William Bradd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 10:46 AM To: Stadler, Brian T; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Cisco Pix Vs.
