Just to forestall some possible confusion, the company mentioned above is
*NOT* Trusted Information Systems (TIS), creators of the TIS Firewall Toolkit
and the Gauntlet Internet Firewall. Trusted Information Systems, Inc., is an 
employee-owned business founded in 1983, and dedicated to advancing the 
state of the art in computer and communications security.  Headquartered in
Glenwood, Maryland, TIS also has offices in Rockville, MD; McLean,
Virginia; California (Los Angeles and Mountain View) and the United
Kingdom.  TIS provides research, consulting and security products for
the military, government, and commercial sectors.  TIS is a recognized
world leader in the development of internetworking firewalls, with the
TIS Firewall Toolkit and the Gauntlet Internet Firewall.  The TIS
technical staff includes experts in computer and network security, policy 
models, operating systems, trust and software engineering, and verification.
Oh, and we've been doing Internet consulting for a looong time. See for yourself
