I saw your recent posting on the Firewalls mailing list. We (Lloyd
Internetworking) do a good bit of this sort of work for schools and
companies here in the United States. We even have several clients whom we
have never physically seen (all work has been performed via telephone and
Internet). We configure their systems remotely. We can do that for you
also if you would like. Of course we can do as much or as little as your
budget allows.
We are quite experienced with the various toolkits and security tools
available to secure those systems that are attached to the Internet.
Please let me know if we can help you also.
