<DIV>Tried both, both are sitting in a pile on my desk.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm a Netscreen fan, after countless hours wasted on cheaper products I
went with the Netscreen 5's</DIV>
<DIV>If you save $400 on hardware costs you're going to loose it in setup,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I spent countless hours configuring, testing, finding bugs, and calling
tech support, it's just not worth it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Check E-bay for a 5XP (Or order new) and add a 10 pack of Netscreen remote.
Take my advice for what it is, if you need a solution that is easy, compatible,
works and is secure spend the $$ on Netscreen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just a though,</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [VPN] Which DSL router?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<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>ZyXEL Prestige 652</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></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>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your help.</FONT></DIV>
