interoperability experiences?

[bkeepper]

Angus,

I can't respond to the list from this address, so you can forward it if
you like.

The Nokia IP440 runs Checkpoint as its firewall and VPN service so
interoperability with other Checkpoint VPNs is a non-issue.

I have successfully configured Checkpoint to Cisco PIX, Checkpoint to
Netscreen, and Checkpoint to FreeS/WAN.

I have also made PIX and Netscreen play nice.

I have also made Windows 2000 IPSEC talk to Checkpoint (nice cause it's
built in), but if you go Checkpoint/Nokia you are better off using
Checkpoint's proprietary VPN client (SecuRemote/SecureClient - Remote is
free, Client has built in personal firewalling, but they charge for it).

All of these configs were accomplished using docs off the web.

Subject: interoperability experiences?

Hello,
We are currently evaluating new VPN vendors due to
interoperability problems we've experienced in the past with
our current vendor, Red Creek. Two options currently near the
top of our list are the NetScreen 100 and the Nokia 440. I'm
curious to know if anyone has any experience with either of
these particular units, and in particular, any problems or
successes you've had getting either of them to interoperate
with other VPNs such as Checkpoint, Cisco, etc. via IPSec. If
you know of other options we should consider that have
phenomenal interoperability track records, please let me know.
Thank you,
