Remote Office Router

I am in the process of setting up a remote office for VPN=20
access. I need to purchase a hardware device that can=20
serve as Cable/DSL gateway, handle Multiple VPN=20
connections and preferably has some firewall=20
capabilities. I am looking at the 3Com=AE OfficeConnect=AE=20
Cable/DSL Secure Gateway=20
(http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?
tab=3Dfeatures&pathtype=3Dpurchase&sku=3D3CR856-95-US)

Can anyone offer some feedback on this device? Or is=20
there a different hardware product you would reccommend?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,

I use the WatchGuard range of products and never seem to have any problems.
You can check them out at http://www.watchguard.com

Hope this helps.

We've used Watchguard products for the last two years. I have a
Firebox 1000 in the main office and a SOHOtc in the remote office.
They have both been very reliable.

Just so I am clear. I only need a watchguard device at=20
the remote site, the SBS will handle multiple vpn tunnels=20
at the main office. Correct?

Thanks,
Don

You have to have a device at both ends.
