- The Karl Bridge was (is) developed by Doug Karl Here at The Ohio State
- University. We just installed one here in about 5 minutes. Nice easy set-up,
- small box and relatively inexpensive (at least for us at OSU -- $987.00 for
- the 80386 based version).
-
- The KarlBridge will allow you to Pass or Drop IP adresses for security and to
- minimize Internet traffic on your local segment.
-
- I had to buy the system from a local vendor and it is my understanding that
- they have some kind of exclusive rights to assemble the hardware components (at
- least as far as OSU is concerned).
-
- If you are just interested in the software, I suggest you give Doug a call.
- He's was very helpful when we were considering his product. Please E-Mail me
- and I'll provide his phone number (I don't want to post it here without asking
- him first).
