[TriLUG] OT: need IP-Sec recommendation

[Greg Brown]

Hey all, it's so good to be back in the USA!!   That said I've found 
myself in the position of having to recommend a firewall/VPN box to a 
small customer within the next week or so.  The network uses, or will 
be using, a fractional T-1 running at 256k for the Internet connection 
(router has yet to be determined).  The office has 25 computers (total) 
and five remote users who want to VPN into the office once everything 
is migrated from Novel 3.x to Win2k (and desktops upgraded to XP - 
don't worry, I've got at least two GNU/Linux boxes in the mix as well).

Anyway, I'm used to thinking about VPNs on a grand scale with grand 
scale budgets.   This is not the case here.   Budgets are small and 
tight hence I've tossed the big guns (Lucent Brick, as well as the 
other enterprise VPN boxes) out the window.  The VPN products from 
Symantec and WatchGuard look promising but has anyone ever used either 
one?   Are they reliable?

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a small office Firewall/VPN 
device that supports XP clients?
