Re: Firewalls supporting Z39.50

[Marc Blanchet <Marc.Blanchet () viagenie qc ca>]

wais uses standard tcp. So most (if not all) firewalls have a generic tcp proxy/filter/... 
that can be defined for the wais port.  In terms of inspecting the wais protocol,
I don't think any firewall does this.

Regards, Marc.
