FW-1 Hardware Requirements for 2MBit

["Zimmermann, Heike" <HZimmermann () conet de>]

Hi,

we have a customer who wants to protect a 2MBit-connection to the internet
with FW-1 v4.x.
In his LAN he has about 1000 users who want to use this connection for
surfing (HTTP)
and Filetransfer (FTP).
I think the operating system will be Solaris. I do not know wether it is
possible
(looking at performance) to do this on Windows NT.
Can anyone give us some recommendations on the hardware (RAM, processor...)
which one should take? 

Thanks in advance

Heike
