I was able to find the following information, which may be of some use to you Steve. http://www.fwtk.org/fwtk/docs/documentation.html#1.3 "The Gauntlet Internet Firewall and the TIS Internet Firewall Toolkit do not share the same code base for anything, typically, and haven't since version 1.0. (There may be a proxy or two that is identical in cases where TIS decided to just give the code away to the FWTK users."
