What exactly do you need? I have managed a significant installation of AVTunnel (which one, by the way; there are multiple versions, Service Packs, etc). The server must run on Windows NT 4; the client has had some additional life support, so that it does in fact run on W2k. I would strongly recommend that you migrate your client off this product.

Harmon Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 10:50 PM To: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: [fw-wiz] AltaVista Firewall I recently entered an client engagement and they are using the AltaVista Firewall (migrating away, but still need support). About five years ago I very briefly worked with this product (Digital -> Compaq/HP) which now appears to have no support, the digital.com website for their software (altavista.software.digital.com) is gone, the compaq website only has product information (no technical documentation) and the support tech (last ditch effort!) I talked to argued with me for ten minutes about how AltaVista is a search engine and not a firewall. So far, my only luck has been the wayback machine, which has even provided me little information. At this point, I am tossing myself at the mercy of those who may have experience with this firewall and perhaps documentation saved around somewhere? Or even a quick write up would be great. With permission, I will make a quick AltaVista Firewall 101 FAQ. Thanks for any help you can provide! -Matthew _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
