New TCLUG Classified Ad Category: Computer Type of Ad: For Sale Subject: Merilus/Netmaster Firecard Plus Merilus Firecard Plus - $100 This is one of the coolest computer products I've ever owned. It is a 0U firewall appliance that fits inside any computer with a spare PCI slot, which is used to power the card. Other than drawing power from the host, it is a self-contained computer within a computer. The 'Plus' version includes on-board modem for OOB management, a feature missing from the regular version. No software is provided with this card (since I moved to Watchguards I let the maintenance lapse some time ago) so it is perfect for replacing your failed Firecard, or upgrade it to the latest Gateway Guardian OS software for as little as $124 at http://www.netmaster.com to get all of the following features: Dynamic Packet Filtering The firewall functions with several layers of access restrictions, and can be set for both inbound and outbound traffic.
