But referring us all to a page of marketing material rather than
addressing the questions David Schiffrin asked looks -exactly-
like advertising to me, since the page you cite doesn't answer
them, and does make some fairly grandiose claims

	....unprecedented levels of security, user transparency, 
        performance, flexibility, adaptability and ease-of-use.

I can't believe you're proposing Win95 as a suitable host environment,
plug and play or not. But then that's what this is, isn't it? An
out-of-the-box solution for people who don't understand firewalling?
You'll find very few people who -do- understand it and who -are- 
prepared to risk their networks on beta software.....

Just as a matter of interest, I'd love to know how you implement a 
software 'solution' with 

	"- No software needed on any client or server".
