        For what it is worth, NRI secure can't even install solaris on
        their firewall machines ... They are over priced, over rated and
        like most of the NRI group, trade on the Nomura name since everything
        is actually outsourced.

        Oh, and if you threaten them with lawyers, they roll over and 
        capitulate immediately.
