Jonathan,
I've been using a SonicWALL SOHO for about a year now...and just upgraded to
a SOHO/2. I would highly recommend it. I've hit it with every tool in the
book to attempt to break it, and it's very sturdy. It's small and
solid-state (no fan...so it's quiet). If you ever do want to integrate with
a PIX or Firewall-1, you can using the IPSEC VPN. Another great feature that
I use is DHCP server on it...and it's ability to support PPoE/ NAT.
