One of the things to keep in mind is that annual support costs (A/V, IDS/IPS updates, hardware maintenance) are based around the list price of the hardware itself. When the time comes to renew your Fortinet support take a close look at how much money you're spending on support versus the cost of newer, faster hardware.
I was amazed to see that for the same cost of renewing support on a Fortigate 800 we were able to purchase a new Fortigate 310B system, including a year of bundled support.
Just sayin .. :)

Hey Firewall guru - Have you ever setup a 4G USB Modem on a 60c with a static address account from ISP? I am trying to get a pantech uml290 4g usb modem to work.
I tried a 3.75G modem on a FortiWifi 60B and was only able to get a fraction of the speed compared to when plugged into a computer. Apparently the Fortigates cannot handle the speed. To get modems working you need to get the Fortigate to recognize it and most likely send a special command to the modem to make it switch from mass-storage mode where it has its drivers to serial/modem mode. There are a couple of blogs about that if you just google.
