Re: Juniper gateway choices

[Joseph Clark <clarkjk () COFC EDU>]

We have both SSG and SRX devices here on Campus and I would have to say that
the SRX line has become the better of the two. After using both JunOS and
ScreenOS on these gateways I personally prefer JunOS. The learning curve
also seemed a lot shorter for JunOS than for ScreenOS.
I also heard somewhere that the SSG line will be going away.
If you have any specific questions let me know.

Thanks,
