Still > stuck on the idea of being able to run and manage VPN separately, and NetScreen ? Can firewall too (and does it correctly AFAIK) but you don't *have* to use the firewall. I have seen it marketed as an inexpensive device to put at branch offices, and it seems it isn't expensive at all (a lot less than the purchase price for a PC running Linux, not considering price of setup, power, maintenance, space . . .). Disclaimer: I haven't put my hands on it myself, only talked to people very happy with it. As an option, there's a management program for "a lot of NetScreens, it's really cool", but I've never seen it, never talked to anyone who has used it (and therefore none who could compare it to NetPartitioner, favorably or not (Disclaimer2: personal pro-NetPartitioner bias)) and I don't have the slightest idea as to pricing. -- #include <std_disclaim.h> Lorens Kockum _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizardsat_private http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
