Re: smb firewall recommendation
Hey Jimmy, I second (or third or fourth) the Sonicwall recommendation. I'm a Cisco guy myself, and love to deploy ASA5505's but the Sonicwalls are solid, less expensive, and easy for almost any IT person to administer (unlike the Cisco which requires more specialized skills). Not much experience with support; I like the product though.

RE: smb firewall recommendation
We're staying away from Sonicwall also, not because of Sonicwall, but because of Dell. I second the Fortinet suggestions, as this is what our rep suggested to us. This is what we are going with from now on. Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... ...now these points of data make a beautiful line...

I've got a dozen TZ series Sonicwalls across the country all connected to my main office. They run great.
