3Com to Sell Firewall-in-a-NIC

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the better-make-sure-they're-secure dept.

Broue Master writes "According to a UK ZDNet article, 3Com is commercializing a firewall into a NIC aimed at desktop and servers." Interesting idea, although it'll be interesting to see if the idea catches on.

    sounds like an excellent idea to me. add to this a cable/DSL modem, all in one card.

    maybe the next thing we see will be a little UPS-in-a-power-supply combo thingy.

    that would cut down on a lot of clutter for me, lose a couple more boxes under the desk, and three or four cables.

    Ok. This is getting pathetic. I submitted this story back in FEBRUARY! (check the date) I can't even tell you how many times this has happened to me here.

    So what now? Stories half to be "well-aged" before they are posted?

    Maybe this site should be called: "Slashdot: news for procrastinators. Stuff that's ancient.

    Seriously. What's the point of us hunting down stories to post if they're gonna do this? Go ahead and mod me down, but you know I'm right.
