We have done an eval of this same product (model 400). It is very cool in
virtually every regard except one: performance. We were facing 1+ hour
mail delays (!) through the device when pumping less than 1,000,000
messages per day through it. Given that they claim it can handle ten
times that much, I am left wondering what happened. Very disappointing in
that regard; the eval unit is being shipped back as a result. -- Jared
