If you want to go with the Cisco, I'd likely get a PIX 506 instead, unless you want the 515 so you could add a DMZ in the future or you want to add failover with another 515. The 506 is the same basic box without the slots and failover. We use 506's for our field offices with T1's for basic net access and FO 515's and 520's at our Colo and main office with a site to site VPN to link them.

It runs the exact same software as the X just has only 3 ports instead of a possible 6. There are some other high end functionality in the X series, but it doesn't sound like you would need them. It would definitely save you some $$$. You may even be able to get by with as SOHO from Watchguard. Their products are all first rate and very easy to configure. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 8:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OT - firewalls I need a new firewall, and analysis comes up with two options (main use is only mail and local internet surfing, no DMZ on this connection), the watchguard firebox x1000 and Pix 515... any pro's and cons? I personally like the GUI form watchguard.
