Re: [FW1] Nokia CPU speed?

["Bill Adams" <billadams68@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

I just like to know what I'm buying.  Its good for comparing to the price 
for doing my own server-based firewwall instead.  Nokia hardware is 
basically a PC, as far as I can tell.  I can get rack-mount PCs much cheaper 
than Nokias and run Linux which performs even better than Nokia, according 
to CheckPoints performance brief:
