        An impressive outburst from the normally mild mannered TWS. Enjoyed it 
immensely!

        Hi EM, 

        You are right. PIX is not very secure. It's a router with some advanced 
ACLs and does neat routing tricks. But when it comes to security, you're very 
very wrong that it's more secure. Hardware doesn't fall from heaven, and all 
"hardware" is controlled by software, and Syphco's core compentancy is not 
application protection -- it's routing and switching. 

        I agree that there is no comparison between PIX and ISA -- only a fool 
would be convinced that they get any real security from a PIX, becuase they 
never took the time to learn about network security and what the end game was. 
Check Point? That's another story.
