I have used the Netscreen product and they look quite good but has a very
goffy WEB GUI, I have not had any experience with Watchguard. But I suggest
you take a look at Sonicwall as well. It has a very good web GUI and easy to
configure. In my company, we used Netscreen 5XP for remote users and
Sonicwall Pro XP and the main office. Just make sure your remote client has
a STATIC IP address!!
