    This also applies to Firewall-1 on a Windows NT SP3. Vendor has been
    notified some time ago.
    
    Like with HP-UX this is an NT problem, but one could argue that firewall
    vendors should replace/strengthen the TCP/IP stack on that platform since
    MS hasn't solved TCP seq prediction on NT and it has been known for quite
    some time. SP3 helps but it doesn't solve the problem.

    AFAIK, this problem is not a Firewall-1 problem but a HP-UX problem.

    Hello there,
    
    This can be applied also to Firewall-1 (CheckPoint) running on an
    HP-UX 10.X series.
    
    
    bye bye
