I work with the checpoint firewall ...and let me tell you they are gui based and very
easy to coinfigure...but do they suck.....ther is no text configuration . the debugging
sucks...and most of the times i have called checpoint for support ..i have done everything by the book...and
they suggest reboot ....sucks ..
98 perfecnt of the time they suggest to stop the engine and restart it ..
anyways i think anything that has a hardrive sucks ...
i predict they (checkpoint) will die soon if they do not come out with a hardware product.......
