Re: [FW1] Hardware??

Nokia IPSO has nothing to do with Windows NT, it's BSDi based.
It runs some sort of route-d that supports several routing protocols which
makes it more desirable than the NT product.
It is also cost effective when compared to NT when you take all factors into
consideration.
You can get HSSI ports for it as well.
