<br/>
Anyone have ideas for PAT capable firewalls that are under $1000 bucks?<br/>
<br/>
PAT - Port Address Translation<br/>
<br/>
Looking to setup a VPN with PAT though NAT, pack filtering, & a secondary<br/>
subnetwork<br/>
routed by, uh, the router.  This is an on going quest for a pseudo hacker<br/>
proof system.<br/>
<br/>
These constraints are tough to work with -<br/>
MY FOREHEAD HAS BEEN MADE FLAT!<br/>
<br/>
TIA,<br/>

<br/>
ps:  Checkpoint & Rapter are out of the question $$$ wise!<br/>
       Am still waiting for an answer from Cisco - but think $$$ problem<br/>
too!</div>
