Quoting Daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
We, at my work, am looking at putting firewalls at each school. The
throughput for each school is at max 35MBs. I am in contact with
someone that sells pfSense appliances and I don't know much about it.
His company is willing to sell us appliances at $500 a piece with a
warranty. We want most of the features of it, but we want someone to
set it up for us and fine tune it with us. Is there anyone out there
that has experience with pfSense or has suggestions on an alternative?

Daniel,
I built my own appliance using the following readily available parts:
www.soekris.com
net4801-50 PN: 10480151 $240
Power Supply PN: 31321215 $15
Newegg
Kingston 512mb Compact Flash card $9.19

http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads.php?file=net48xx-1.231.img $FREE
This makes for a small quite appliance that has no fans, hard drives
or other failure prone hardware. Take a look at these screen shots
http://m0n0.ch/wall/screenshots.php
to get an idea what the user interface looks like. Monowall has
worked great for me. If you have any other questions, feel free to
contact me off list.
Regards,
John Twitchell
