  I agree, I have received the Guantlet firewall and the package of cd's to
which you are mentioning.
I believe the webshield that I received was for Unix only actually. I have
purchased their TVD package
as well and went on to use it with nt (smtp scanner) but nothing else. If
have a license to use Webshield
I would like to know as well. Their documentation needs to represent a big
comapny bundle and not a
garage sale bundle!
