[c-nsp] what type of firewall/ids

[Chris Serafin]

I have a Cisco IOS Firewall at home, and see many of these in the field 
: PIXs, Juniper Netscreens, and Checkpoint Firewalls.[I work for a 
Checkpoint shop] 

In ease of use I would recommend a Juniper Netscreen for ease of use 
[excluding Checkpoint, I have never worked on them, as i'm new to this 
co.] ; although the SDM/PDM are nice for easy GUI configuration on the 
Cisco boxes.

Netscreen have a nice GUI , stateful firewall, Deep Inspection, and nice 
VPN ability.

just my 2 cents,
