Altough a little bit unknown outside Brazil, we have no fear of saying our product is at least in par with Checkpoint Fw1 or Pix, for instance. Please take a look at our web page and download a free (english, of course) evaluation version. If you prefer, please send me your address and I'll have our customer service dept mail you a CD ASAP. jOrge -- Jorge Peixoto Vasquez, Elet. Eng.
