Hi!

Is there anyone who knows about the difference in throughput on Cisco-routers 
contra using an NT-server (lets say HP, 166 MHz) running NT4.0 or an SUN Ultra1 
running Solaris 2.5(.X) as the router. We are planning on using 100 Mbit/s 
ethernet cards and it seems like a solution with a Cisco in the 7000-serie with 
three 100 Mbit/s overrides our budget for this year. Is there a great loss of 
performance?
Is it at all possible to install an inspection module on NT4.0-gw using 
Checkpoints Firewall-1 ver.2.1 if we use NT4.0 on the FW Manager host?

Is it more unsecure to use nt or Solars on the router?

This is what our configuration will look like:


                |      100 Mbit/s in every direction
                | Internet
