About GTA Firewalls

Global Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA) has been designing and building
Internet firewalls since 1994. In 1996, GTA developed the first truly
affordable commercial-grade firewall, the GNAT Box®. Since then, ICSA-
certified GNAT Box System Software has become the engine that drives all
GTA hardware appliance and software firewall systems.

About GB-Ware

GB-Ware is a complete software firewall system that runs from a Compact
Flash module or hard drive installed on x86 (PC) hardware. After software
installation, GB-Ware must be configured for local network requirements
using either the setup wizard (video console) or manually (serial console,
GBAdmin or browser).
