Jerry, Check the code revisions on your Watchguard products. The SOHO units are specified by Watchguard at 500Kbits/sec of 3DES throughput. See if Watchguard support has anything to say with a specific question about that. Sometimes Watchguard is really on the stick. Sometimes they aren't.
I will check my connection between my home (cable modem 384k-up/1900k-down) and the main office (T1) for bandwdith and let you know what I get. I would imagine that ISP hardware could be a limiting factor here, but I could be wrong. I am curious to know myself, so I will search the archives later tonight. In the mean time, someone from the group who is feeling a little generous with their time may have some additional insight on this. A few questions for the more knowledgeable out there: Can ISP equipment have an impact on VPN throughput? Could packet size impact throughput (500 byte versus 1500 byte)? This question might be a good one for Watchguard as well. Any other considerations? (nothing too lengthy, just a few quick answers for further investigation later) My thanks in advance your time with these questions.

I do a speed test from the pc hooked to the satellite equipment and the actual satellite connection is getting average 700k BUT as soon as a slap on the ol watchgaurd vpn solution it and hook a computer to that the speed drops to below a 56k I know this is not a cisco problem but watchgaurd support is very lacking in my humble opinion and was hoping someone may have had simular experience and could point me in right direction. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
