You [your boss] should look into the FW-1 that is going to be running on
Alteon [Nortel now] hardware....

PIX is the fastest, yes, but how fast is fast enough?
Do you need a car that will do 120 when the speed limit
is 75?  Do you need a firewall that can keep up with a
saturated 100mb interface when all you have is a T-1 to
the Internet?  Better, no.  Checkpoint is the industry
leader because of their well designed intuitive management
interface.  Manageability is everything.
