    I would have responded sooner but I was under some tight deadlines to get
    some work done....

    I wrote some articles on how to buy a firewall a few years ago. They are a
    little dated in that there are some new features and functionality that
    exists on leading products today, that did not exist when I wrote these
    articles. However, many of the basic principles still exist, and some of the
    tips might at least help you get going in selecting a firewall.

    If you decide to read these articles, let me know if you find any mistakes.
    I might not have had enough cups of coffee when I wrote them and if I write
    any new articles on this topic, I am always open to suggestions for
    improvements.

    In my not so copious freetime, I am working on a dynamic spread*** that
    mathematically tabulates firewall decision-making and selection by
    components. However, being a single Mom with a full-time job doesn't leave
    me much time to do the fun stuff so it will be awhile before this is
    anywhere near finished....
