At the risk of perpetuating this thread, I would appreciate some
informed comment on the statment that 

"FW-1 does indeed provide AG's for serveral protocols including FTP 
and TELNET".

Having never looked at FW-1 closely I'm not in a possition
to refute the above, but am concerned that it was presented 
as fact and based largely/entirely on marketing fluff.

So if someone who knows can confirm that AG in this instance matches
the accepted definition of an AG rather than something else (eg.
"its so much like an AG that if you are clueless you won't
know the difference" :-)  I'd appreciate it.
