I also see by the brochure that it will authenticate against RADIUS as well. <rant> it'd be nice if they just came out and called it a firewall/authentication server/VPN concentrator/mobile IP gateway, rather than wasting our time with 3000 buzzwords. one could describe their product in about 500 words... and I'd put a lot more faith in a company that actually came out and *said* what it did. too many words means they spent too much money on marketdroids, rather than people who make the product work well. then again, i'm not a PHB or marketdroid. </rant> <reply> If they said it was a firewall, then people will think it is a firewall and want to have it filter their internet connection. That's not what it does. If they said it was a VPN concentrator, then the morons of the world will try and terminate their remote users on AOL on the thing, it's not that either. It is an appliance that uses several technologies. IMHO, to use the words you have will only serve to confuse people into thinking they can buy this thing and use it in place of their WatchGuard.
