[Soekris] 6501 with OpenBSD as firewall

Hi I uses many, many 4801 and 5501 as VDSL routers and firewalls running various releases of OpenBSD. I never used a 6501 with OpenBSD as VDSL router/firewall. What are people's experiences with the net 6501 and (recent) OpenBSDs, for firewalling and VPN purposes? - thx
