I'd like to see that software - I used to work for them and I never heard of
it so I'd say that was Bull.  I think it is more likely that you have either
a Phoenix Firewall base unit or a Velociraptor base unit - no problems there
email me personally at gavin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Model Number and I'll
ask a colleague. In fact a quick check confirms to me that it is almost
certainly a Velociraptor box possibly as when Semantec bought Axent Cobalt
then did an OEM deal and they became yellow boxes so I suspect the offed
some of the leftover boxes and couldn't be bothered to open up the box and
remove the extra NIC it is probably an Intel I remember.

It may still be a RaQ3 as some of the velociraptors were RaQ3 based and some
were RaQ4 based - easy way to tell power it up and then cat /proc/cpu and
see if it is near to 300Mhz or 450Mhz then you know it is RaQ3 or RaQ4 and
you have a bonus NIC not that you can use it through the GUI but you could
configure them manually to do something not sure what as such or take it out
and put it into a firewall box to give you 2 DMZ which is what it was used
for in the Velociraptor unless of course someone was to leave an iso for
velociraptor accidentally on an ftp for you then you have a velociraptor box
if you can get a licence for it :-)
