I think you've wasted about US$500 bucks. Normally I'd put a sub US$100
router in front of a 2 NIC ISA.

But you have a device, what's the best way to use it? As the 170 is VPN
capable and is probably going to interfere with VPN terminated at SBS in a
two NIC setup you'd probably be best off running a single NIC and learning
to manage the 170.

A quick look at the manual suggests the interface is quite nice, pity
there's no integration to AD but RADIUS may be an option.

I'd rather be happy than right anyway.
