I have been working on a few different products.

I have been running several tunnels and have broken some equipments in the 
process.
Equipment used:
2 VPN 100
1 linksys

1.  Symantec version 8 enterprise firewall and have tested a few others.

I really found that I was overloading the equipment instead of killing it. 
3 tunnels will overload the symantec vpn100.

I would recommend if you could get a hold of the vpn200r with the 5 user 
client remote user lic that would be a good tool.  Confgure the symantec 
client to connect to the m0n0wall firewall instead of the vpn200r.  It 
should work fine.  I am planning to test this in the next week or so, and 
will post the results.

I moved to m0n0wall for a few reasons but the biggest was cost and support 
for myself and a few clients that I need to put firewalls in and support 
remote connects by customers.

SonicWall does have a client that is installed on the client side. In
fact it is an other "Branded" SafeNet client. The client has be modified
and will work easier with SonicWalls. The fact that you can "export" the
settings used by the client does make configuration simpler. Using there
global configuration tools would also be a plus.

The NetGear VPN client has not been modifed (except the NetGear "N" logo
used by the apps in Programs menu) It is much more flexible than the
SonicWall version. One you setup the first mobile machine you can export
form the NetGear Client to use as a starting point for other users. You
can put the client and the spd (settings file) You can burn your own CD
with the file called IPSecPolicy.spd (it will import the settings
automatically) on a CD and mail to remote client.  Installation of the
client software is not difficult - only issue may be local
administrator. I did this for a client that had a user in Texas from
Maryland.... (I think that is over 300 miles...)
