What people also tend to forget is that the Nokia's are a much tighter
integration with Check Point, and that the operating system as a whole is
much easier to use and it comes pre-hardened.
Also, how many of you will actually feel the difference between a box that
supposedly tests at 234 Mega Bits Per second and 246?
Call me crazy but isn't this only a difference of 0.81% between the two
tests?
