Someone from AOL asked:

Sun has several different products. They *could* produce a firewall
that competes with the strongest on the market if they used their CMW
product and its mandatory security as a basis, but I haven't heard of
any such products from them.

They have that crypto configuration which I assume competes with
encrypting routers like NSC's. That's the one I've seen the most
recent press releases about. That solves a different set of security
problems than a typical firewall installation.
