Actually, you don't need to replace the IP440.  I am running NG AI R55w on
the IP440 with IPSO 3.8.1 build 028 (I know, R55w is NOT supported on IPSO 
3.8.1).
You just need to put add more memory into the IP440 and everything will be
allright.  My IP440 is an P-III 600Mhz box with 512MB of RAM.

You do not need an 3DES vpn acceleration card if you decide to go with AES-256.
The Nokia IP350/IP380 has built-in 3DES vpn card but this card does not support
AES.  One thing I notice since going with AES is that I have a much lower load 
on
both the CPU and memory usage on the firewall.  That is what AES is designed 
for.
The algorithm is much faster and much more efficient thatn 3DES.

HTH.

I need to replace our IP440, with a new firewall, and I am wondering what
would be an equivalent hardware box to replace it running NG-AI R55? Our
current IP440 has the Chrysalis LunaVPN card installed in it for VPN
acceleration, but I am unsure if I need a 3DES accelerator card in the new
one or not. Can AES be a good replacement for 3DES?

Thanks,
