RE: NT-based firewalls

Hi Mitch, here we use Gauntlet for NT and it works find, it really depends
on what you want to do, but dont ignore Gauntlet from NAI. I havent tried to
install it on Win2K yet, I am on the NAI beta program and they havent talked
about Win2K yet. I dont expect anyone will look at it until 1Q2K.

For you linux modem issue, I have gotten RH5.2, 6.0 and 6.1 to firewall,
Dial up with a USR external modem without issues. I had tried to get various
internal 'Non Name brand' modems to work without success. Are you trying to
get a stand alone machine to dial, or route thru a dialup for many machines?
If it is the latter, I do that and ude a program called DialD and it works
great.

Reply with questions if you like.

Hi guys, I've been following the list for a few months now, but this is my
first post.  Anyway, I'd like to get some opinions on the absolute best
firewall for the NT platform--more specifically for a win2k machine.  I've
heard some very good things about NetGuard's Guardian, however I seem to be
unable to install the Agent part of the package.  Perhaps it's just operator
error (very possible!!)??

I have several linux machines in my little LAN here, but I am having some
problems getting any kind of modems to work right with both linux and my
isp.  My final objective is to use linux as a firewall and masq all my other
machines.  At any rate, I would apreciate any suggestions/optinons you guys
can give me.  Thanks.

Mitch
