Top IPS vendors - please read for invitation to Network World review.

[Joel M Snyder <Joel.Snyder () Opus1 COM>]

Folks:

Network World is doing a head-to-head comparison on IPS (NOT IDS) 
products, which we have defined (for the sake of argument and 
simplicity) as "anything inline which can drop packets."

After we do a review, the first and most vocal responses always come 
from people asking "why wasn't <x> reviewed?"  Most of the time, it's 
because <x> is made by a gutless company unwilling to have their product 
compared in a head-to-head way with others, but some percentage of the 
time, it's because "we forgot to ask them."  Ergo, mea culpa.

So... before we draw the line under our existing vendor list, this is 
our last gasp attempt to find out if we missed anyone.

THEREFORE: any IPS vendors out there who have no idea what I'm talking 
about, please drop me a note for a copy of the invitation.  Note that 
the deadlines are actually past; this is just my checking to see if 
there's anyone out there we forgot.  So, if you work for an IPS/IDS 
vendor and you're NOT Barbed Wire, Lancope, Intrusion, Cisco, NFR, ISS, 
SourceFire, Enterasys, Captus, Deep Nines, Lattis, Tipping Point, Mazu, 
TopLayer, NetScreen, Lucid, or Radware... drop me a line asap.
