Subject: Bordermanager as firewall?

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with Novell's Bordermanager as a
firewall?  We are in the process of selecting a firewall product, and one
vendor is going to propose Bordermanager.  I have to admit, I was a little
surprised.  I was expecting IBM Firewall (because we're an AIX shop),
Checkpoint, Cisco PIX, etc., but not Bordermanager.  I tended to equate
that product with MS Proxy Server.

We have a 400-desktop enterprise with eight Frame-Relay connected remote
sites, and are looking for a firewall solution for the entire enterprise.
In addition, we are in a rapid growth mode, and predict doubling in size
both in number of desktops and number of WAN-connected sites by year-end.

Any thoughts anyone has would be appreciated.

Thanks,
