Andrew,
Are you aware of the DECUS library of security tools? I am unaware of any
specific firewall software from DECUS, but there are several useful
security tools. (For non-VMS types, DECUS is a VAX user group, on the
order of SHARE for IBM, and USENIX for UNIX.) There is a nominal charge
(usually $25 - $40) to cover the cost of cutting a tape.
I have listed a few samples of available software below. I have also
included the address to contact DECUS. They can send you their current
catalogue.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Does anybody know of an archive for firewall/security tools for
VMS (specifically a password Cracker) type program although a
true firewall tookit would be welcome as well. My company's soon
to be on the Internet and I want to tighten down all possible
systems on our internal net.
Thanks,
Andy Rodnite
