Hi Roger, I use this firewall for Internet use. When I talked to one of our consulting firm, they told me to go with Pix 525. They told me Pix 515 is not a good choice for us. They want us to go with Pix 525. I was not convinced. So I did some research on the Cisco security book. On the "Managing Cisco Network Security" book, it says Pix 515 should be ok with under 1000 users. We have less than 300 users. Three years later, we might just have 350 users the maximun. What I concern here is the speed. When users go to the Internet, would that speed very fast? Our current firewall is a 5 years technology. It is not as fast as I want. How many users use your Pix 515 from LAN to LAN?

We're doing LAN to LAN firewalling with a 515 without issue, so it should be more than enough for your needs. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
