Tumbleweed(R) Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:TMWD), a leading

a compact package. The new 4500 Series appliance features a 64-bit
2.0 GHz Opteron CPU and provides fault tolerance via redundant,
hot-swappable disk drives and processes up to 375,000 messages per
hour. The new appliance provides superior levels of protection from

onboard redundancy with dual drives and a RAID controller. Like all

controls, enabling rapid installation, network configuration,
real-time status information, and appliance reset with no external
cabling or monitors required. "Tumbleweed products are used in
