I'm normally a lurker.
I have a SonicWALL DMZ Unlimited W/VPN. It more than amply protects my SOHO
office with machines on the DMZ and a secure LAN segment.
I would highly recommend it (even with the comments about the DOS problem).
I use it to keep intruders out! And for me, it has for about 2 years.
I do not run a mission critical Web Site, and I'm sure that no one will hit
me DOS attack.
I also would not use a SOHO device for a Medium or larger Corporate entity.
For that I would use a larger commercial device, or a configurable firewall
with more sophisticated ACL's.
