I wouldn't settle for Sonic Walls performance or pay too much for Checkpoint/Nokia... Check out NetScreen. www.netscreen.com THey have a product that is more than 100Mbps and does full stateful firewall at only like 9k. The NetScreen 100 It is true hardware, not a PC architecture like Watchguard or Sonicwall. I love it!!
