    Although this isn't entirely on topic for this list, I thought this
    would be an excellent group to ask...

    As our college prepares for reaccreditation, we're starting to evaluate
    some of our internal processes. I'm trying to compare what we do with
    others when it comes to technology, so I've designed a little survey
    dedicated to just one decision-making process you might have to go
    through. If you have time to answer these questions, it would be very
    much appreciated.

    1. Does your institution/organization use a firewall at the enterprise
    level (institution-wide)?

    2. Do you use a commercial product or a self-built product?

    3. Is your firewall considered to be a hardware appliance or a software
    solution?

    4. Related to question 3, do you feel that one is better than the
    other? Why or why not?

    5. What factors are involved in your decision to choose a firewall?

    6. Do you have a formal management process for evaluating a firewall?
    If so, would you be willing to share it?

    7. Obviously, cost and personnel experience are major factors when
    choosing a firewall? Are there other factors that are just as important?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
