You could. But from experience, I'd avoid their products. I use to work at a dot-com (remember those) and chose a SonicWall Pro-VX for our FW/VPN appliance. The boxes run well, but their physical engineering is a bit wanting: we went through two with bad power supplies, and 3 of their SOHO units for bad power supply connectors: the external power supply worked, BUT the box itself lost connectivity to the power supply. . . Your milage may vary, but if I was looking for a Firmware-based FW, I'd choose a NetScreen, hands down. . . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
