Thanks for the info, too bad the market doesn't have more competition 
and variety.

I guess my problem with soekris is (me) being too lazy to actually want 
to call them.  I tried doing an order online and it was horrible.  
Someone should build them an online store. =)

At what point would it be wise to start using a hardware VPN card?  How 
many clients, How much bandwidth?

Thanks,
Lee
