Firewall appliance recommendations

[Scott Anguish]

what about the Netgear consumer level products?  they claim stateful 
inspection.

finding out which of the DoS attacks that a specific consumer level 
router protects against seems to be pretty hit and miss.. :-(  Netgear 
only seems to list them for their office level devices consistently.

does an ICSA "certification" actually mean anything?


The NetGear FV318 -  Firewall: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to 
prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks (syn flood, ICMP flood, UDP 
flood, "ping of death", IP spoofing, land attack, tear drop attack, IP 
address sweep attack, Win Nuke attack). Intrusion Detection System 
(IDS) including logging, reporting and e-mail alerts, address service 
and protocol), Web URL content filtering.  and it's only $149.
