Sorry, I should have left that VPN info out, 200 licenses will be more than
enough. Though I will have a large number of remote users.

The criteria is that it needs to be easy to set up and stable. That worries
me that you say that you had problems, and from what I can see their support
isn't up to much either.

It should have a DMZ port (for email/web server) and have good reporting. I
don't really need web filtering or anti-virus features.

I ended up with these two after deciding that I need a hardware as opposed
to software solution and these two came out best in a labs test in PCPro and
I thought they fulfilled my need. Also they were the best I could get within
my allocated budget. Not very scientific I'm afraid.
