Here's a list I sent to Jeff of some initial numbers and prices I had dug
up.

As I told him,..

I was primarily looking for a low-cost appliance to provide dedicated VPN at
at least T-1 speeds.  (I threw in Linksys and a couple others for hahas
because I just KNEW I'd be asked later by someone in Marketing if I'd
considered a Linksys since it's only $100.  Now I can say, "Why, yes I did.)

These are *rough*.  I dug these up mostly from Vendor documentation.  Some I
had to resort to online comparisons, speaking with SEs, etc.

These things go roughly for list:

Netscreen 5-XT		$700-$1200 (depending on user license, 10 or unlim)
Checkpoint S-box		$600		(10 IPs)
Cisco PIX 501		$700		(10 IPs)
Cisco PIX 506/w 3DES	$2000		Pricier 
Cisco 806 Router		$800		need fw features & 3DES
Sonic Wall Tele3		$500		5 users
Sonic Wall SOHO3		$700		10 users
WatchGuard Firebox v10	$600		10 users
Symantec			$500		No user limit
GNAT RoboX			$1000		10 user
Linksys			$100  	(buy two so you'll have one when it crashes
at 2AM.
						 Great home box on the
cheap.  Wouldn't want to 
							carry pager support
for though.  ;)

If you're still around today and wouldn't mind, it'd be nice to see it on 
the list, so I don't have to approve another 8 or so individual posts...

Thanks,

Paul
