It is usually as easy as writing a mail to www@ and discussing what's 
desired. We have a team answering those questions for that. Unfortunately, 
every now and then something slips through the cracks, and it seems you're 
the victim of that.

Checking the www@ mail archives, I can only see one mail from you from 
September 2001 (which never got answered, sorry for that!). Can you please 
drop another mail to www@NetBSD.org with the details on your firewalls 
please, and we'll make sure to have this added to the 'products' page?

FWIW, organisations that wish so can get listed on our website at 
http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/org/.
