Haven't used it myself, but have spoken to people that have happily
tested it with Sonicwall and Netscreen firewalls.

One thing to watch though is that the latency is NOT as good as DSL,
even Jetstart. (Although Telecom's 'improvements' to the network may
bring that gap closer for jetstart. Remember, Woosh is (as far as I
know) some sort of CDMA variant and they all suffer from latency issues.

So, is this the right forum for discussing Woosh from a technical point
of view? Can I get the IP on my server like I do with the 3com PPPoE
solution? Can Woosh increase their speeds, or is 256kb/s the top speed
of the technology? If they fold, can I use the modem with anyone else?
If I move house, do I have to pay to "roam" (I ask because during the
launch there was something called free roaming, and I can only assume
this means you can move without it?).
