Hi all,

We have an office with a Cisco 2621XM with Firewall IOS & hardware VPN
accelerator that just isn't cutting the mustard anymore.  I'd like to
offload the Firewall/VPN to another device costing somewhere between
$1000-$2000.  I'm open to suggestions.  It looks like somehow we have a
free Express license that I could use for this, but I'd like to avoid
recurring software subscription fees.  Is it possible to use
SecurePlatform with an Express license?  I could use an older server for
that.

This is what I've been able to find so far:

Nokia IP130
Nokia 50i
PIX 506e
Edge X32 or XU
Have I missed anything?

Has anyone had experience with the above?  

Which version of FW-1 does the IP130 run?  And has anyone used a 50i
(non-FW-1 it looks like)?  I've had an IP120 in the past (the 4.1 days)
and I thought it was great (Nokia support was great).

I've heard bad things about Edges with firmware issues, etc.
