For hardware VPN solutions, and price-performance I highly recommend the Netscreen line of appliances. For lower end use, the NS5XP is excellent. I use this box personally to connect all my VPN tunnels and remote offices.
For higher end, the NS50, 200 series, 100, 500, and 1000 are ideal! They include customized ASIC technology, IDS, email alerts, a full stateful inspection firewall, and carrier class VPN services. The technology they use, which most all do is IPSEC. (which is what you want to look into) Check: http://www.netscreen.com Chat with me offline if you need more information, and how I think of the performance and benefits. sean.
