Hi,

As far as I understand the firewall that comes with the netra is
Firewall-first.  This is scaled down version of firewall-1.  When I say
scaled down I really should worthless.  

Only five sessions allowed through the firewall.  A long delay between one
session ending and a new session being allowed again.  Only five services,
http, ftp, telnet, gopher (i think) and the fifth service is definable. 
There is no authentication, network address translation or encryption.

This is really some smooth marketing, anyone who buys a netra and is
 concerned about security will find they need to firewall-1 light version
 quite soon.
 
 Andy
