Josef : Experts from Nokia have to call in speak of their boxes. As an end user, I don't really care what the things inside the box as far as we can get good p/p ratio and good support. These are the things I would like to know before we can deploy the Nokia boxes.

I read the spec. on Nokia GGSN (GPRS core element) which is IP650. Hello, are you sure they are using FreeBSD _4.0_? It has not been released, and even if it had, it is generally not a Good Thing to run such a critical application as firewall on an X.0 OS version. It took some time for FreeBSD 3.X to settle down. I generally don't trust companies optimizing others' operating systems. IMHO, the FreeBSD project do their job very well. A shoemaker should be making shoes and a tailor should be making clothes.
