There was an announcement about a new partnership of Secure Computing
and VMware and a forthcoming product named "Virtual Firewall" or
similar. There is even an eval download on the S.C. website.

Ask your Secure^H^H^H^H^H^HMcAfee representative about availability
and pricing, I do not have any more information, yet.

I'm looking forward to finding some spare time and getting my hands
on this thingy.

Kind regards,
