Re: [FW-1] VPN appliance for remote office

[Symon Thurlow <sthurlow@FW1-NOSPAMWEBVEIN.COM>]

I am looking at this at the moment too, and the Cisco solution looks
good.

THe problem with using Nokia boxes is the licensing, although the
IP71's look ok, and don't cost a great deal.

I am looking at using a 2600 with the appropriate feature set. Anyone
have experience using these for site to site VPN?

Cheers,

Symon
