Keep in mind that some of the comments about FW-1 *were* true at one point in time. For example, FW-1 pre-4.1 *did* have default settings that would allow ICMP, DNS and the like through. Since FW-1's features have changed, it's probably worthwhile using other firewall comparison documents as a guide. And for those of you who are running FW-1 without software subscription, you *can* get back on software subscription without purchasing the complete product again... the product to ask for is Legacy Subscription. You pay a penalty for letting your software subscription lapse, but it's not extremely severe... Steve Frank Darden wrote: > After reading this it is clear the reviewer has not done his homework.
