Gauntlet was ITSEC evaluated at E3, which is roughly equivalent to EAL4.
As you may know, it's all in how much security the ST provides ;-)
There's lots of EAL3 firewalls around; some of them conform to the NSA 
firewall PP set, some don't.

The company that built Borderware was once a Gauntlet reseller - that may 
explain the similarities between Borderware and Gauntlet.
