Data General's B2/E4 DG/UX is currently in evaluation at B2 in the US and
E4 (ITSEC) in Europe.  We are doing a Red Book B2 eval with IP in a
heterogeneous environment (mixed sets of systems connected - trusted and
untrusted).  This is a full commercial OS (Unix) with built in firewall,
virus prevention, SMP, failover, RAID disk and tape, etc.  The next release
(this fall) has transparent proxies and  address translation (built in and
in the evaluation).  NSA will be using it for their classified server
connected to the Internet (with Web server).
