What's wrong with PC hardware? Things like Netra X1 are very close to PC's,
i'd say those are PCs with sparc CPU - same stuff, pci, ide, ...

Why does it make so big difference for you?

YOU (firewalls () msg net) WROTE:

 I'm comfortable with Gauntlet on Solaris on Sparc hardware, to the degree
 that in a global Fortune-500 enterprise I am comfortable with deploying and
 managing firewalls in remote offices thousands of miles away, sometimes
 without ever actually seeing the hardware on which I am installing and
 running the firewall.
 
 I wouldn't have that level of trust in the reliability and remote
 maintainability of a product based on PC hardware.
