You may have heard the term "tollbooth" from an IBMer in reference to a set
of so-named proxy machines formerly used to access the Internet from the
IBM internal network.  I'm not aware it being related to the IBM firewall
products.

IBM uses the term "tollbooth" in relation to certain services
(FTP in particular) on their firewalls (secure gateways). Can
anyone tell me what they actually mean by this?
