SecuRemote 4.1 (the client piece of this functionality) is already out. You can download it from Check Point's site. Unfortunately, the "server" piece (i.e. FireWall-1 4.1) is not widely available yet. What's cool about the new SecuRemote is that the "client" can choose a policy, but the firewall can decide not to communicate with someone who has picked a policy other than the one they are supposed to have. -- Dameon D.
