Rick, Approx how many of your 1700 users are terminating an encrypted tunnel in you Bluesocket WG2100 when that unit is straining? I am running 3 of those same units under low load conditions without tunnels but would like to know what I might expect as load increases. Thanks.

I'm in the process of buying their biggest box. That box is documented at 1000 users, but the say the user count is conservative - they suspect that the big box will handle my load with no trouble, based on the fact that while the middle-of-the-road box is feeling pain, everything does still work. -Rick At 08:03 PM 9/9/2004, you wrote: >Excellent info- thanks much.
