yep, I agree completely! 

I didn't state that other vendors have better code, better quality
management, or better support than CP provides. We made our own
experiences with products like TIS Gauntlet, Cisco Pix, and Biodata
Bigfire. Guess why we still use FW-1 ;-)

Nevertheless, FW-1 isn't a cheap product for a few bucks each
license. In '99 we've spent far more than a hundred kilo bucks for 
licenses, not including software support which we've bought
separately. For this amount of money I expect some level of quality 
from CP, even if the software stability and the support from CP 
competitors may not be any better.

just my two cents
