Nolkia's Firewall Performance...

["Boni Bruno" <bbruno () dsw net>]

Since I really did not get any good responses about Nokia's Firewall
Performance, I will play it safe and consider a gig firewall solution.

Thanks to those that responded.

P.S. I am testing a Netscreen500, I'll keep the list posted about test
results.
