If they're considering installing steelhead ON the firewall box, I really
don't recommend it, especially for the RAS functionality. I would strongly
recommend against allowing your firewall to recieve and deal with incoming
dial-up connections.  My over-all experiences with steelhead have been less
than pleasant. Personal misgivings aside, running steelhead BEHIND a
firewall would certainly be fine, but ON the firewall probably wouldn't be
the best idea.
