    One of the cheaper solutions would be a Symantec Gateway Security 320 box.
    It's $475 from Symantec including a Symantec Antivirus 5-pack (which costs
    $213 alone), but you can find it a lot cheaper without the AV pack by
    shopping around. It's basically the old Nexland ISB Pro 400 box with a
    faster CPU and more RAM, intrusion detection and better VPN capabilities.
