Firewall in a NIC??? Nothing new here. We've been using them for a few months now.
A company called Merilus has been making them for awhile. It runs an embedded form of Linux. It has tons of features for a Firewall on a PCI card and best of all, it's made in Chilliwack, BC, Canada.
Gotta love the name. Check it out... www.merilus.com
Well, that's kind of tough to the International community isn't it. After all, how much of an impact on our lives would the Internet be if it was created by the former Soviet or current communist China military.
I can't think of a safer place than an installation like NORAD or the Pentagon bunker for something as important as this.
And the only reason the US Gov. "got out of the biz of running these services" is they realized the potential the Internet would have on world economics and wanted a bit of partiality. Otherwise you'd be sending in your check for broadband to the "Department of Commerce, Internet Division" every month.
