For some uninteresting technical reasons, we abandoned WatchGuard and went with Secure Computing Sidewinders. I still like the WatchGuard line, but I now have come to prefer the Secure Computing stuff. They are a joy to use.
In fairness to Watchguard, however, their MobileVPN client is OEMed, and not under their control - the SafeNet people screwed the pooch on Vista compatibility, not WatchGuard.
