Thanks, lots of good suggestions. However, since my client is price constrained, I am going to go with the NetScreen 5GT and I may need your help in setting it up PaperTiger :D

I am looking for a site-2-site VPN solution for small business with three sites (~15 users per site), currently on DSL with Netopia ADSL routers and using WAP on internal network. Different internal subnets. Looking for an appliance that does secure VPN in the cost range less than $300 per unit. I am aware there are Linksys &amp;&nbsp;Netgear products in this price range and I am looking for recommendations on a product you may have used and found reliable. Also, for feedback on Cisco 871...Thank You!

Site to Site VPN appliance for Small Business

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
