Hi! I've been trying to research some firewall/vpn/ids appliances that
would provide one additional layer of protection between our router and SBS
box (isa2000). I've looked at
WatchGuard, Symantec, and SonicWall.

What do some of you currently use? What is the pros and cons of it?

What is the "best bet" device?

Thanks.

Marcia
