What's the Main Presentation?
Tedman Eng of Dataway will
roll up his sleeves and get into the juicy details of upgrading
Firewall-1/VPN-1, including:
- In-place upgrading versus building a new box
- Upgrade paths
- Things to watch out for
- What works and what doesn't
If you've got an old firewall box and you're considering
upgrading to NGX, this information will be invaluable!

Is This A "Sales" Event?
No. This is the monthly meeting for all members of the
Check Point community to get together and help each other out.
Lots of end users attend, as well as technically-oriented employees
from Check Point and Check Point partners and resellers. We're
here to learn and network and find ways to do our jobs better.
This is not a sales or marketing event.
Where is the Meeting?
At Dataway in midtown San
Francisco. Dataway is a Check Point partner and reseller.
We'll be at
180 Redwood Street, Suite #300
(Google Map) (near Van Ness and Golden Gate). It's just
half a block from City Hall.
Is The Meeting Open To The Public?
Yes!
Parking?
There are two convenient public lots:
Public Transit?
It's easy to get to the meeting by public transit. These systems serve the area well:
San Francisco Muni (on the
Muni Metro, get off at the Civic Center Station or the Van Ness
Station)
BART (get off at the Civic Center
Station)
Do I Need to RSVP?
It would be nice if you RSVP'd to
bjstiefel@cpug.org, so that
we can plan ahead, but it's not required. It's OK to just show up.
Do You Need Volunteers?
Yes! Hosting a high quality user group meeting takes a lot
of work. Please contact Barry Stiefel ("Stee-ful") at
415-543-5222 or
bjstiefel@cpug.org to offer some help. It will probably be
as simple as showing up a half hour early.
What Does It Cost?
Nothing. The meeting is free. Lunch is
free.
