Well, as I have said partially in another email, Here at Wright-Patt, the
88th Comm Group has forbidden us to use FW-1 due to these issues.  We have
Xylan switches, and FW-1 can be integrated at a hardware level directly in the
switches, so if we could use it, you can bet we would be.  The only solution
that they will support right now is SideWinder.
