I am thinking an appliance with VPN-1 would be a more user friendly solution and easier for general support in the group. Checkpoint has a nice platform selection guide which provides a good overview and good product information, but I was interested in comments from the group on satisfaction and good/bad experiences with the various products. If anyone can provide any links to any recent comparitive product evaluation articles that would be appreciated. We have about 100 users locally on a T-1 and may upgrade to dual T-1's eventually. Have only 5-10 remote VPN users, and about 50 remote users accessing a secure intranet site, and maybe hosting our own low use website later, so traffic is not high, but a DMZ interface required. I am thinking one of the SafeOffice, Nokia, or VPN Edge appliances would be most! practical. I would like something rackable so I am also interested in one of the basic OS installs that I could put on a 1U rack server. Any comments greatly appreciated. thanks, Hal ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
