    why are you buying application layer firewalls? dont as a security person
    you learn anything?

    get hold of a spare 386, and make a netbsd, ipcop, smoothwall, linux based
    firewall, alot of fun and a *** load better, I will personally stick with
    my checkpoint box, but please please start taking ya firewalls of your own
    machines, they deserve a place of their own, ON THEIR OWN BOX, Tiny and the
    rest have all been breached with deep packet inspections through nemesis, at
    the end of the day, its still Layer 7
