Well, one reason at least, is management's hesitation / refusal to trust enterprise solutions to an ethereal support system. They want to be able to have someone pick up a phone when something breaks so they can get the problem fixed ASAP. While this is no guarantee of a fix, at least they can upwardly report "Our technical guys are on the phone with the vendor." That is a bit more substantial than "they dropped a post in a usenet group and are waiting for someone to reply." Kevin W.

I was just about to ignore this ever-expanding thread when this post from Mr. Ranum caught my attention. Every aspect of the problem is addressed by open-source software development.
Spoken like a true believer... _BUT_ -- if open source is the solution, why do we still have the problem? mjr. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
