Firewall & VPN Recommendations
----------
We are a medium sized 45 person business needing to get an inexpensive firewall with VPN capabilities. For the VPN we need to be able to connect remote users running Win2K and NT to our LAN. Price is a big issue. I've been looking into FreeSwan, but I'm afraid it may be too time consuming to configure to run with Windows Clients. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Something Besides Freeswan?
----------
Freeswan is a great tool, however another choice might be a little NetScreen 5XP with an unlimited user license. You can get one from your local vendor for about $800.00, they're simple to deploy, very robust and provide excellent firewall features. A NetScreen is also generally more feature-rich (at least of of the box) And also has simple IDS functionalities. Combine that with the fact that it's an ASIC and not a PC sitting in your rack and it could be an excellent choice.
