General Questions

Hi,

Wasnt sure whether to put this in hardware or VPN, so i went for general 

Ive used many ALIX 2D1 firewalls in the past with monowall, and they have been rock solid.

Now i have a client who will need about 16 VPN connections from individual machines (using pptp?) and possibly a couple of ipsec site to site VPNs.  This is all going to be running over a 20MB ADSL connection (2mb up).

What im wondering is whether the 2D1 will handle the throughput of this or if it will struggle?  Are the vpn1411 (vpn accelerater) cards any good and are they worth it?

or alternatively does any one know of a better similar price appliance that will do the trick?

According to the spec of the 2D1 it has a crypto accelerator built in, is this any good?

Also just out of interest what do people use infront of their monowall to connect to the ADSL?  Do the draytek vigor modems work well?

Thanks in advance.

Stuart
