Hello, I personally like the BorderWare Firewall Server, it provides a nice content filter for HTTP traffic. It has a VPN solution. For spam ... not to sound like a BorderWare Reseller but they also have a product called the Mxtreme (www.mxtreme.com). I have used the Mxtreme and I believe it is the best anti-spam system on the market, plus it has AV for email too. Oh .. also a OWA web proxy which is nice. I would stay away from the SideWinder Firewall, have not heard good things. If was I going to use a security appliances I would pick one of the following ( in order ): Borderware Firewall Server Cisco PIX CheckPoint Michael.

I am currently researching security appliances, specifically firewalls that provide Anti-Virus at the network level, VPN, and perhaps some sort of SPAM filtering for small to medium-sized businesses. The NetScreen 5GT looks pretty good and I would like to know if anyone has positive or negative experiences with NetScreen, or can recommend another unit to suit my needs.
