Unfortunatly, it's hard to believe the nokia IP120 is working well. There are
complaints on the phoneboy's fw1-wizard mailinglist about this device. It may
work with older version of the software but should be avoided for the latest
firewall-1 version. It is especially true if you want some 'advance' features
such as vpn.

In one word, the nokia IP120 is a no go for professionals that do not want
nightmares.
