Re: Firewall prices

[Michael Gale <michael () bluesuperman com>]

Hello,

        I should of provided more information with my e-mail. Right now I have
setup all the firewalls I need running slackware with netfilter and LIDS
(linux intrusion detection system). 

I am fairly confident in these firewalls anbd I would like to provide my
manager with a cost analysis. 

So far all they have had to pay for is the hardware ... I would like to
provide a breakdown of the cost for:

3 firewalls
2 VPN servers
Anti-spam server

My manager is not a IT person so at the moment they have no clue as to
the cost of all these servers.

Michael.
