Personally I think ISA 2000 (very soon to be ISA 2004 with SBS SP1) is a much
more robust firewall than any Linksys router out there. There are plenty of
people who swear by them stating that it's more secure. I don't buy that
since you're going to open and forwad the same ports on the external firewall
that you open on ISA. So all you've really done is complicate the issue.
