&gt; &gt; Sure, the network be hind the firewall is Frame-Relay, all 
&gt; &gt; the remotes come back through the firewall for internet 
&gt; &gt; access.  I chose ospf since there were version conflicts with 
&gt; &gt; RIP.  Now that OSPF is up and running I've found I like it.  
&gt; &gt; Its faster and more flexible.  
&gt; 
&gt; Do you need a DMZ port?
&gt; How much total throughput do you need?
&gt; 3DES or DES?
&gt; VPN Throughput?
&gt; Number of clients?
&gt; Number of remote VPN sessions?
&gt; 
&gt; A Cisco PIX will take care of your needs handily and you'd be surprised at
&gt; how robust the entry level units are. A lot of folks shy away from the PIX
&gt; because of percieved expenses. PIX solutions start in the $400 range. Many
&gt; folks skim right past the 501 and 506 because they can't believe that that
&gt; itty bitty wittle box can handle their big manly network. :) Sure, pricing
&gt; is high from the 515 on up, but the entry models fit the bill nicely for
&gt; some pretty big networks. In my opinion, if the network you are describing
&gt; is so big/busy that a PIX 501 or 506 can't handle it, then you can afford to
&gt; come off the dime. Of course, this does mean that user licensing comes into
&gt; play, but it is not really that bad overall. If you can answer those
&gt; questions definitively, I'll give you the exact model number and price.
