Bill, I've had one of these boxes for about four years. I have never had a problem with it and our employees love the ability to remote into their XP desktops from home. It works from both Macs and PCs. I haven't tried a Linux client but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Although I don't give employees access through the NetExtender client, I have used it with remote vendors or when I'm out of town in a hotel or from a cellular card. Sonicwall has been good at updating the firmware, including enhancements and bug fixes. In fact, Sonicwall is having a webinar on Wednesday regarding features in version 3.5 of the firmware.
It has made life much easier than dealing with VPNs from employee's homes. I highly recommend it. -Jeff ________________________________ From: Bill Songstad (WCUL) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 7:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Sonicwall SSL 2000 recon I'm looking at the Sonicwall SSL 2000 http://www.sonicwall.com/us/products/510.html as a clientless VPN to access remote desktop on our WinXP Pro desktops. I've heard a number of things all over the board about Sonicwall as a company, but does anyone have experience with this product in particular? Thanks for any feedback, Bill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
