I have a Mac WAN with approximatly 600 Macintoshes and about 40 zones of
eithernet and local talk scattered accross the city.  I am looking at
putting in a dedicated 56K pipe into the internet from the central hub.
However, I want to put a firewall up to prevent problems on the internet
from invading my network.  I have been told that there are products out
there which will allow people on my network to then access internet
directly without the use of dial up modems at each site.

What I need is security.

Can anyone out there help me.??

Thanks Richard
