Talking about firewalls, I have experience only with Gauntlet, and I was not really happy with it. It was too much complicated to understand and to be used and here was a real lack of support. Now I have been using PIX for a couple of months, and I am happy. But I still had to fight with my management (which is not really IT oriented). Since we have a full Windows 2000 environment with Windows experienced people, they made pressure to have MS ISA server as a firewall. Right now I could got PIX for our remote office, but they are still thinking to go for ISa for oher future remote offices. I have only a little experience on ISA, so I cannot judge. but I still consider it not as a firewall but as a HTTP proxy. Is there someone more into it than me, that can tell me about the advantags and/or disadvantages of having ISA as a firewall? Thanks Silvia __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
