We get a lot of connection timeouts when accessing the Internet or it just 
takes longer than it should to access a site. On the timeouts usually if you 
hit refresh it will go to the site.

  How is "slowness" being defined?

    Thank you Dr. Tom for the info, but if you could point me in the right 
direction to see what is causing the slowness then maybe the Boss wouldn't want 
to spend the money for the SonicWall! :-)

    Thank you!

      Hi Barbara,

      In 99.987% of the cases "network slowness" is not an ISA problem. The 
Sonicwall will inherit the same problems that were fasley attributed to the ISA 
Firewall.

      The vendor should explain how the Sonicwall will solve this performance 
problem (which he won't be able to).

        We have been having some problems with slowness on the network and he 
is convinced ISA is the culprit and a vendor has told him SonicWall will fix 
the problem.

          The first question would be why would he want to replace the ISA 
Firewall with a sonicwall?

            Hello List,

            The Boss is looking to replace our ISA Server 2004 with a 
SonicWall. Will 
            someone please give me enough information about this comparison 
that I can 
            convince him to keep ISA!

            Thank you,
            Barbara
