RE: suggestions on a good firewall

[lassal <lassal () pclink com>]

If it helps, ISA is ICSA certified like many of the "big boys".  Proxy 2.0 
wasn't even close to being a firewall.  See:

http://www.icsalabs.com/html/communities/firewalls/certification/rxvendors/microsoftisas2000/labreport_cid303.shtml

This is for 3.0 certification.  Only a few have passes ICSA's updated 4.0 
thus far.
