Gauntlet was integrated into Secure Computing Sidewinder G2 (I think a lot
or all of its application proxy stuff is based on Gauntlet 6.0) after
Secure Computing acquired Gauntlet from NAI. Secure Computing certainly
supported Gauntlet 6.0 for a while and service contracts were transfered
from NAI to Secure Computing.

I've never used Raptor but isn't Symantec Enteprise Firewall essentially
the descendent of Raptor?

As far as Gauntlet goes, yes Secure Computing bought Gauntlet from
NAI/PGP and actually Secure Computing still supports it. However
Gauntlet will be officially EOL'd by Secure Computing Corp. at the end
of '04. However, their new firewall product, Sidewinder G2 6.1, which
is basically all the cool Gauntlet Proxies and Adaptive Proxying
technology that Sidewinder never had, and the good features that
Sidewinder did have all rolled into one great firewall. Secure
Computing is saying it's benchmarks say it's a 30 percent performance
increase over Sidewinder 5.x and a 50 to 60 percent increase over
Gauntlet 6.0 UNIX, which if true is awesome! We are upgrading our 6
Gauntlet 6.0 UNIX boxes in September to the new G2 6.1 product. I'll
let all you guys know how it is when we do.
