Invictus,

Completely agreed on, but my point was more of a 'what if' Q. What if some admin installs some BSD proggy that would make his life easier? or if some guy in a SOHO/SMB decides to turn his lil IP330 into an all-in-one box? Then whom would you blame if CP or IPSO fails to do the correct job? Also, why would I have to pay that much for an OS that doesn't run anything while it's actually a normal FBSD box? Simply, one could get CP NG to run on FBSD ith some tweaks and use Webmin instead of Voyager, and it wont cost him that much..

Why Nokia? Nokia had the lead for quite a long time, 2yrs ago I wasn't able to find any one that deserves to compete with Nokia. Nowadays, Intrusion.com's boxes outperform Nokia's and they're built on Linux, that allows me to run whatever software I like plus having the chance to customize the box to my exact needs..

About that exploit point, I'm sure nothing will work against a default install of IPSO, but I would really like to know how would IPSO make any diffrence once built-for-FBSD software is installed on IPSO? Also if you'r familiar with tcl/tk goto your cgi-bin dir and check the 'ugly' code, I'm sure someone will spot an issue over there some time soon..

Maybe it's time for CP and Nokia to realize that having one box that does routing and firewalling isn't what we really want. I prefer to have a box that does what I want and not what Nokia wants...

BTW, I'm not abondining CP <hmm, maybe Nokia infavour of an Intrusion box? > but this is just a rant about how weird the world is, hehe

Thanks,
