don't use it as a firewall, use it for a first defense!
you don't have that much of possibilities and the logging is not that great

Cisco claims that the interoperability works perfect
Asked a few network integrators and they had a lot of problems
I think that it's for the best to use 2 devices from the same manufacturer.
The guys from Bull say that if one side is from Bull, they don't can
garantee what the other side of the IPSec tunnel does with te data if it's
not from Bull. Soy they said, use 2 devices from Bull.
