I like Netscreen firewalls. A bit spendy for home ($500 for the 5xp), but you can find them on ebay for a little less. The 5xp has the same ASIC's in it as their $100,000 model, but it's limited in throughput because of the 10M interfaces. If you get a 5XT ($1200), it has 100Mbit interfaces, and will do linespeed IPSec. I have the 5XT at home (got it for free) and I love it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Neigebauer, Ben [mailto:ben.neigebauer at compellent.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:03 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: RE: [TCLUG] Alternate Network configuretion > > > For $199 you can get a nice SnapGear. > > It's essentially a tiny linux machine. > > Benjamin E.
