Pix is a Cisco Product. At the moment, Checkpoint is drawing a blank. I have never used either quite honestly, so I really can't give you a valid reply... http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/redface.gif

Checkpoint makes Firewall-1. It is a good product, I would recommend not getting it for NT! It has a habit of leaving UDP ports 135- 139 open ( BAD !!! ). If you know Unix, get IBM's AIX version. I recently worked with E & Y on a project and they recommended Watchguard firewall. It is a hardware base firewall that runs a linux kernal. It is pretty slick. Check it out at: www.watchguard.com (http://www.watchguard.com)

Check out Firebox II and II plus.
