I've heard it's possible to remove ISPO from a Nokia IP330 and install Red Hat. It is, after all, a PC under the hood. It might be possible to do the same with NT, which would allow apples to apples comparison of NT vs. Nokia. Anyone feeling adventurous? ;-) Mark L. Decker Rainfinity [email protected] www.rainfinity.comp.s. IMHO, the best things about Nokia are the form factor (which is not unique; very speedy 1U rack-mount servers can be obtained for less from Sun, Compaq, Penquin et al) and the management tools. For what it's worth, my vote is for open OSs like Solaris, Linux, NT, rather than a proprietary OS like IPSO. Although ISPO may be more stable than NT, it's no more stable than Linux or Solaris. And, it's much easier to find expertise, spare parts, patches, and 3rd party utilities for an open OS. ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
