No, I'm not a salesman. There was specific mention of the IBM Firewall and request for more information (from Ian Gresley-Jones and Adam Shostack) so I supplied it. My title at IBM is Technical Marketing Support for TCP/IP workstation products.

support, and inbound ftp proxying.

TCB. Although not in the current beta, the developers are working on MD5
