>From the Client Side, I have found that Cisco's VPN Client is easy to use,
but I have never used the hardware side of the setup.  

You could also look at Citrix Metaframe XP.  It is a terminal services
extention for Windows 2000 TS (among other operating systems) that allows
better encryption, and better administration.  It also keeps everything on
you network, so you don't have to worry about data.  I personally recommend
you run it over a VPN if you are trying to setup a secure solution.  My
mother works for Peoples Bank (I had to setup her remote access for her) and
this is the solution that they use.

My company has a VERY distributed user base with many people working from
small satellite sites and/or from home.  I would love suggestions for a PC
level firewall that would protect from intrusions and also whether hardware
v. software solutions would be best.  We deal with medical records so
privacy of the data is imperative.

The basic case scenario is a user working from home and connecting to the
internet via cable/dsl/dial-up via an ISP to access mail (webaccess) and
upload or download data(via SSL to our public web server)  that may contain
patient information.

Thanks
Nicole
