Small Business FireWall

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

Can anyone give me some recommendations for a firewall appliance for a
small business of 25 - 50 people? The following are some of the thing i
think I need:

1 Cost would be less than $2000
2 Firewall protection from the bad guys
3 Provide VPN access
4 Relatively easy setup and maintenance (predefined rules)
5 AntiVirus functionality

I'm looking to replace an old Gauntlet firewall running on BSD. Any
help would be much appreciated.

And why not ISS Proventia M Serie??

Its is brand new from the best security provider I've ever worked
with. Easy, everything could be done through a web interface (ie,
better that CP and WatchGuard standard on itself)

Yeah that box is nice for the price.
