I used to work with a Netscreen 100 <-> FreeS/WAN install.  I loved 
the Netscreen and it worked quite well.  

Screw talking with Netscreen's resellers.  Go to the source for your
info:
http://www.netscreen.com/products/appliances_spec.html
There's a line for "Dedicated VPN tunnels"

To get an idea of pricing so you know what to ask of your
resellers, there's a Netscreen reseller that lists their prices:

Checkpoint is supposed to be coming out with some cheap VPN/Firewall
appliances.  You might also check out WatchGuard:
