<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our office wants to implement VPN in the near
future. We have 2 offices with a server and DSL router in each, and several
satellite offices with one computer with a dial-up connection. I've researched
DSL routers with VPN firewall, and have a list of models that I think, from what
I've read, will meet our needs. All offer stateful packet inspection and 3DES,
multiple simultaneous VPN tunnels, and are fairly inexpensive. What I don't know
is how easy the installation is, what changes may be needed in our current
network setups, if any other software is needed (all computers are on Win2000),
and are there other things we should be thinking about? Here are the
models:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can any of you give us information that will help
us decide which would work best for us? Have any of you used one of these
successfully in a similar situation?</FONT></DIV>
