Secure/Scalable TCP stack

[sledge]

Folks,
I am studying various options for a stable and secure TCP/IP
stack. Security is of prime importance, which do you
think fits the bill for a security small gateway product ? Is Linux
any better ? Which version of bsd supports networks apps well ?
I would also like to know the embedded systems capability ? Like
board support for ARM9 ?
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks
Sledge

OpenBSD, of course. You've (almost) come to the right place. You'll
likely find a more responsive group of people via the OpenBSD mailing
lists, but before you dive in, take some time to study the various
sections of http://www.openbsd.org/. Most of your questions are
addressed in some form there.
