I would never have called it a "firewall".[1]  It is a router with very
strong VPN tunnel capabilities, and a precursor to IPsec.  It was sold
by Network Systems Corporation (NSC), which was bought up by Storage
Tech, which decided they didn't want to be in that line of business ...
so the same people who had been at NSC and STC were spun off to form
"Blue Ridge Networks", which you can see at www.blueridgenetworks.com
or www.blueridgevpn.com.

I am cc'ing a salesperson whom I happen to know, as I don't believe
they habitually read this mailing list.

[1] I would never call any router a "firewall".  But that's me.  The BR
can, of course, block any specified IP packets very well, and I believe
now supports IPsec.
