PIX's SUCK

So the PIX saga continues. On TSG's LAN, it runs at 9.8mbit/s - not too shoddy. On the client's connection, it tops out at 57kbit/s! Teh suxxor!

The FreeBSD box in the exact same place tops out at around 95mbit/s - more than enough to fill their 6mbit/s connection. It has more features, is a LOT more secure than the PIX, and cost... nothing. So of course, the client is pissed off and won't believe that anything free/cheap could possibly be as good as a $2,500 piece of shit firewall.

I should have told them that it cost $10,000 and can make toast.
