ISP-Planet: Review of Linux-based Internet Appliance SES 1500

“The Internet Appliance Inc. SES 1500 is a good balance of
sophistication and simplicity. It is a VPN appliance that combines
Web, firewall, and dial-in servers together in a nice package, all
administered from a series of browser-based configuration screens.
It is an appliance geared towards medium-sized businesses who
require capacity to support 30-50 users along with the security
features to protect them on the Internet.”

“The first thing you notice about the SES 1500 is its
distinctive two-tone blue case. Behind the colorful cover is an
X86 computer running Linux on a 333 MHz AMD processor. The model we
tested had 64 MB of RAM and a 6.4 GB hard disk; other options can
include up to 256 MB of RAM.

“There are several ways to setup the SES. You can use Telnet to
directly access the command line operations of the server, or hook
up a standard PC keyboard and VGA monitor directly to the unit. But
the easiest method is to connect the SES to a network and use a
PC-based browser to configure it.”
