I can buy a 2900i (with ISDN backup) for £155, so say $90 or so. An absolute bargain. I have used them and know of many others who have used them for years. Check the draytek website. I'm not completely bias as I'm big into Checkpoint and also know Watchguard and Sonicwall. The Drayteks are just great for the money.

Whats good about the Fortigate? I havent heard of them. I'm asking because Im
genuinely interested.
The beauty of the Draytek Vigor boxes is that they have ISDN backup builtin on
a few of the boxes. Which is very useful when using ADSL.

Take a look at Fotinet's device called Fortigate. I use it and it is great
for a VPN connection over DSL Lines!

An ADSL line should easily cover this amount of users. I have run remote sites
of 15 odd users on ADSL running in a normal WAN capacity (without TS). I have also run
ADSL with 10+ users and TS with no real problems.
You must of course take into account that ADSL lines dont typically come with
any sort of SLA. I would advise backup lines of some sort, either DSL from another
provider or ISDN backups. Ive used it without but just be prepared
I personally wouldnt use Windows VPN for such an exercise. It will however
work. I would use some sort of VPN device. I have used Draytek boxes which are good
choice for such a setup. They only cost a couple of hundred dollars a piece and will
plug straight in the wall. A LAN-LAN VPN would be a cleaner alternative to VPN clients.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Remote DSL link
I have 10 users in a remote site.
We want to connect them to our domain via a dsl link and Windows RRAS. They
are all windows XP sp1 clients.
Typically they use Termservices in APP mode to access Quick Books server and
Outlook for email.
Is this an ok config for ADSL? Or in general?
can they just use the XP vpn client to hit the RRAS server and then log into
the domain?
Should i get a faster link?
thanks
