[c-nsp] Firewall Recommendations

[Paul Stewart]

We are in immediate need (next couple of weeks) of a firewall for our
own offices.  I'm wondering what everyone's experience has been with the
new ASA series from Cisco.  Also, any feedback/comparison on Watchguard
would be handy....

This has been sparked by MSN Messenger blocking on the application level
in our offices.  We have been trying to block it unsuccessfully with
CBAC variations and when we finally found a way to completely block it,
half the websites we want to go to can't be reached.... 

Thanks in advance,
