We use Barracuda's SSLVPN. It is based off the old sslExplorer open source 
product, and does the Java-based install of their vpn client. In many ways, I 
think this is similar to the Sonicwall SSLVPN.

The barracuda didn't have any per-user license fees. This was a major factor in 
our choice of VPN solutions.
