[adsl] Looking for ADSL VPN Router recommendations

Steve,

Depending on your budget, I have had good experiences with the Netscreen 5GT 
ADSL range of firewalls.

At about $700 per site (for the 10 user license model and supports up to 10 
IPSec VPN's), full Firewall and VPN features (Point to Point and Roaming) 
and is no bigger than a standard ADSL router.

Reasonably easy to setup - but would recommend getting someone who knows 
about firewalls to get the most out of them.

Alternativly I have heard that there is a Linksys ADSL router model that is 
slightly cheaper and also supports site to site VPN's (not sure how many you 
can set up).

With either solution I would stick a $150 Wireless AP behind it.

Jason
