Scot: Many thanks - I'll certainly take a look at that list if you'll send it. Not sure what happened to the marketplace, I realize there were many acquisitions, and I suspect the market moved a little too slow to keep
VPN
only companies in business. Lots of folks are mentioning Nortel Contivity - I'll have to look into
it.
Hate the idea of an 'integrated' box in the environment I'm going to recommend this into, as I know in the back of my mind that the FW functionality won't be left alone. "If you have a toy, you have to play with it" syndrome... Thanks.
Here's a list I sent to Jeff of some initial numbers and prices I had dug up. As I told him,.. I was primarily looking for a low-cost appliance to provide dedicated VPN at at least T-1 speeds. (I threw in Linksys and a couple others for hahas because I just KNEW I'd be asked later by someone in Marketing if I'd considered a Linksys since it's only $100. Now I can say, "Why, yes I did.) These are *rough*. I dug these up mostly from Vendor documentation. Some I had to resort to online comparisons, speaking with SEs, etc. Scot ============================================================================ ====== VPN Product Review Throughput (in Mbps) Manufacturer Model IPs 3DES Cleartext Tunnels source =============== ===== ==== ==== ========= ======== ==================== Netscreen 5-XP 10? 13.00 20.00 10 Netscreen Doc Netscreen 5-XT 10? 20.00 70.00 10+ ??

If you're still around today and wouldn't mind, it'd be nice to see it on the list, so I don't have to approve another 8 or so individual posts...
