Tom, One of my companies is getting ready to deploy some new service technologies which use various open source code. Shorewall is included in the mix. Looking over the website I didn''t see any way to send support for the project in the form of $$. Part of my agreement with this client states that certain moneys have to be paid to FOSS developers for their assistance. How does one go about that in the case of Shorewall? We appreciate the work you have done and are willing to give back. -- Michael Cozzi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

You do a first-rate job helping all of us out, and I''d stick with shorewall just because of the service and support on this list. Fortunately, it''s a fantastic product, as well, that makes my life much, much easier (especially since I don''t think I''ve touched it in 3 or so months!)
