    There is the Cisco VPN Concentrator Series, or OSS if you prefer the free
    variety (and you do not mind doing a little work getting it going).
    
    I have had good luck with the Cisco equipment.

    Hate to ask this question here, but I'm a bit stumped - are there any
    dedicated VPN devices left on the market?
    
    I used to love the redcreek dedicated vpn devices (before they were acquired
    by SonicWall).
    
    These days, seems that all VPN services are either on a firewall or router
    box, and I favor architectures which don't really use VPN on either.  Still
    stuck on the idea of being able to run and manage VPN separately, and
    grouping this functionality on a firewall or router device muddies the
    administration for clients, and adds unnecessary functionality, especially
    for clients with restricted technical resources.  Additionally, I don't
    really like compromising on VPN functionality or firewall functionality, and
    multipurpose boxes seem to require either that, or an excessively high cost.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    
    JB.
