LANtoLAN VPN Between PIX 515 and Non Cisco Devices

Currently, our remote users uses a Cisco VPN client to access our main office via DSL. The VPN sessions are terminated at Cisco PIX 515. Now, we are interested in LAN to LAN VPN. We want to VPN session to be up and running 24 hours. Is any device enable to accomplish this with PIX 515 termination point? if so, which device? Since each remote location has 1 user, we don't need to have a high scale device.

Please advise.

Thank you.

I'm currently using a Linksys VPN router to connect to multiple PIX's. Piece of cake to setup, and relatively cheap <$200

If you want a Cisco-only solution, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2286/index.html

This hardware client is compatible with the PIX firewalls and emulates the Cisco VPN software client.

I also have setup a "permanent" site-to-site IPSec tunnel between a Cisco SOHO 91 to a PIX firewall and it works great as well. There are lots of sample configs posted on the Cisco site with different ways of doing it.

Of course, with only one user, you could just use the *free* VPN client from Cisco, it just won't be "always on"
