I am  currently involved  in the  evaluation process  of Conclave  for a
company in  the north of europe.  We had someone from  Internet Dynamics
over to install this and  do some presentations for potential customers.
Due  to a  limited  amount of  time  and some  problems  in the  network
involved this  could not be  completed, so  the evaluation will  have to
wait for  an unspecified amount  of time. But, from  what I did  see and
some discussions with  the guy from Internet Dynamics I  can say that it
looks very promising. The things I really like are the "relative ease of
configuration" after  first installation and  the fact that  it includes
VPN possibilities in one package. The thing  I do not really like is the
fact that the product is build on top of Windows-NT, thus making it more
difficult  (if not  impossible) to  find  out what  is really  happening
"under the hood"...
