mmm... looks nice... has all the latest and greatest in IPSec VPN tunnels -
AES, SHA-2, RC5, PKI...

except...

a packet-filtering firewall? Just packet filtered? not stateful? You gotta
wonder at that. I'm sure it isn't ICSA certified either...

It's all very well having great VPN functionality, but if your firewall
isn't up to scratch and it gets compromised - what's the point of a VPN???
Also, does not support RADIUS or SecureID for XAUTH - only supports PAP and
CHAP.

Won't be replacing my router/firewall combo...

My 2c worth...
