Reminds me of the first time I paid attention to a magazine's firewall comparison article. They compared performance (the magazine's lab had a way of measuring it). They compared which services could be passed through (the magazine's lab had a way of testing it). They compared user interfaces (the magazine's lab had a way of assessing it). But it seemed like they forgot to assess something or other important about firewalls. Hmmm. Let me see if I can remember what it was. Security features, maybe? Ability to block attacks? Resistance to attack? Not the droids they were looking for, I guess. Rick. smithat_private
