Update: We went with the Juniper SSG-5. I think we're going to like it but good grief this thing is complicated! We're having to open a tech support incident with Juniper just to get the IPSEC VPN configured. The manuals we downloaded for it are almost 2300 pages long!
I look forward to getting up to speed on this device, it does seem very capable. Just a learning curve like an alp. J Ben M.

I have a client with about 75 users scattered across three locations. They've been using a SnapGear SG580 at their central location but it died this morning. Needs: * IPSEC & PPTP (or L2TP) VPN support * Dual WAN capability with load-balance/failover. * Preferably under $800 We looked at the NetGear ProSafe line but were wondering if there's anything better? Not a huge fan of SonicWall and their "pay per user" model. Ben M. Schorr Chief Executive Officer ______________________________________________ Roland Schorr & Tower - Flagstaff Office 2700 S.
