Hi,

Thanks M, any sort of insight, no matter how tenuous is useful, I think
we all understand that much of what is said here is informal.

This does make me laugh slighty, given that we will now have to pay for
exactly the same thing that we purchase normally, just in a different
state ie compiled.  No doubt we won't be purchasing the ability to
actually DO anything with the code ie sell my 'altered' version of
Gauntlet.  I now have to pay to have the option of checking if the FW is
secure: and I won't even dignify the 'this keeps non-serious people
away' with a reply.

OTOH at least we will be able to see what is going on, which would make
support a lot faster by enabling a deeper understanding.  Gauntlet is a
morass of bad manuals and 'loads' of files, so the source would help
there:-)

NAI is not allowing customers to get the source code anymore anyway.

I guess it serves me right for not confirming that before
reccomending the
purchase :-(

It's my understanding that source code is going to be available for
purchase.  Since I'm not in the sales organization, I cannot be absolutely
sure that I'm correct...you'd need to talk to your sales rep to be sure.
