Re: Altavista v TIS toolkit on Linux, which is better?

[Jeff Needle <needle () altavista digital com>]

% Is Altavista firewall any good? how does it compare to the free TIS toolkit?

Well, I think it is.  But I'm a bit partial :-).  Both are good
firewall solutions.  The AltaVista firewall tends to be a bit more
plug and play, with an easy-to-use GUI and good, detailed
documentation.

% Is it possible to run Altavista firewall on Linux or am I expected to
% purchase a Digital Unix box to run it on?

AltaVista Firewall runs on Digital Unix and Windows NT.  You can
download a fully functional copy from

http://www.altavista.software.digital.com 

(Select the "Firewall Center" link) 

If you have any questions about the product, don't hesitate to ask me.
