Re: performance of TIS Gauntlet

[Roger Nebel <roger () homecom com>]

we have a fortune 100 customer who is running gauntlet 3.2 on bsdi 2.1
just fine, and if i recall correctly from about two and a half years ago
we were buying bsdi 2.x at less than $750 a copy to supply 200 psinet
firewalls.  i seem to recall that with hardware, gauntlet, installation,
and warranty they were about $6k each.  as always, YAMMV.
