Firewall recommendations

[Jeff Holden <JHolden () MTSAC EDU>]

We are looking at upgrading our campus's firewall.  We are currently using
a pair of end of life PIX 515s.  We have been looking at the Cisco ASA and
Juniper Netscreen products.  We are very early in our evaluation and
haven't talked with any venders yet.  We are wondering if any other campus
has been through this process recently and can offer any suggestions.  We
are looking at the bandwidth they can handle, price, added features such
as VPN, IDS/IPS functionality, likes and dislikes and any other helpful
advise.    Currently we are a mixed Cisco and HP shop, but are open to any
and all vendors solutions.
