[dba-Tech] Software Firewalls

Ugghhh  yuk.  Might be one to stay away from methinks...

Not sure if you have the over there but we have a model over here (Oz) by
the name of 'Billion', which is known to be very reliable and cost
effective.  Made in Taiwan I think.

Not just the latest firmware.  Just saw this on another list I'm subscribed
to:

I thought it would be fair to the group to mention that the socket timeout
problem I had with Mercury not accepting mail from one particular mail
server is now solved.

It appears it wasn't Mercury's problem but the router we have. We use a
D-Link 604 router and with old firmware it can create such surprises. All
problems disappeared after I upgraded the firmware.
