Hi Steve,

SBS 2003 Premium provide ISA 2000 Standard Edition. SBS 2003 Premium
Service Pack 1, which will be released soon, will provide ISA 2004 Standard
Edition. In your scenario, if you only want to publich FTP sites and enable
VPN connection, I think SBS Standard version is OK.

[Note] For VPN connection: please also make sure that from the Router, GRE
protocol 47 and TCP port 1723 is able to be forwarded to the SBS Server.

Actually, ISA do provide further features, such as: Client Authentication,
Web Caching, Bandwidth Rules, Destination Configuration, Monitoring,
Application Filters, etc. If the features are necessary for your clients, I
recommend you to purchase SBS 2003 Premium.

For more detail, please check ISA home page:
http://www.microsoft.com/ISAServer

I hope the above info helps.

If you have any update, please feel free to post back.
