[Cialug] "Nice" firewall box

[Scott Yates]

Nice = Solid, reliable, low power, low maintenance, and reasonable price.

These boxes have been around for a long time, and are very well regarded.
I have several installed with clients that have multi year uptimes.

It is very hard to beat them for the price and reliability sweet spot.
