He may have meant this, from http://www.ipsilon.com/products/:

<QUOTE>
The IP400 Series is the industry's best-performing and most flexible
integrated router firewall product. Ideally suited to provide secure
Internet connectivity, the IP400 Series combines high-performance IP
routing and sophisticated bandwidth management with a complete
implementation of the Check Point FireWall-1 enterprise security suite.
What was previously accomplished with a costly set of standalone products
(access routers, general-purpose workstations and VPN encryption devices)
can now be achieved with a single device, and at a price point that
reduces the cost of Internet connectivity. The IP400 Series supports a
variety of LAN and WAN interfaces including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI,
ATM and Synchronous Serial. Furthermore, because it has been designed as a
networking device, the IP400 Series is a hardened, field-serviceable
platform, with pre-loaded software and no need for a dedicated monitor or
keyboard.

Well, as I have said partially in another email, Here at Wright-Patt, the
88th Comm Group has forbidden us to use FW-1 due to these issues.  We have
Xylan switches, and FW-1 can be integrated at a hardware level
directly in the switches,

FW-1 in hardware?

Now I'm really starting to have doubts about this story.
