[SunHELP] Netra t1 AC 200

[Kurt Huhn]

I recently worked for a company that used the IP330 platform (Nokia
appliance) for FW-1.  It runs a specialized version of BSD called IPSO -
cool little OS.  We also ran Sitemanager and Provider-1 on a couple of
redundant Sun E220Rs.  Both are viable alternatives.  If you're trying to do
it on the cheap, a Sun Ultra-5 can run Solaris 7 without problem.  Add a
second HME interface and you're all set.
