I got some 4 replies & One me-too from:
Daniel J Blander - Sr. Systems Engineer for ACS <Daniel.Blander@ACSacs.Com>
Kai Schwermann <schwermann@uni-X.net>
Geraint Edwards <edwardsg@bhnov2.agw.bt.co.uk>
Jay Morgan - RSSI/AC06 - Atlanta <jay@atlanta.rssi.com>
Dave McFerren <davem@tybrin.com>
They basically said that it had it's quirks but was fairly easy if you
understand tcp/ip & security basics. Daniel warned me that it was not the end
all & I should not think it would do it all!! (I already have wrappers
installed among other things -just ready to take the next step !!)
We've decided to try it, especially since it has an easier interface for
configuring a cisco!!!
Thanks again!!
