   We have had a IPSec vpn remote access solution for some time, but want to move   
   this over to a SSL based solution.  Our problem has been this is for only about   
   a half a dozen users and so $$$ is a real issue.   
      
   We got excited about the SonicWall SSL-VPN 200.  ~$500 bucks, and the   
   documentation   
   said it would do everything we wanted.  The problem documentation is, uhmm,   
   misleading, to put it gently.  SonicWall tends to mix the capabilities of the   
   SSL-VPN 200 with those of its bigger brother the SSL-VPN 2000.  So the fact   
   that   
   the 200 will only do a ActiveX client and won't do a Java client is well   
   hidden.   
   Does you a fat lot of good when half of you client machines are Macs or Linux.   
      
   There are other things, but suffice it to say that we returned that product   
   with a   
   vengence.   
      
   I'm currently doing some experimenting with the community edition of   
   SSL-explorer   
   from 3sp.  It works and its free - whats not to like?  Well, the documentation   
   is   
   lacking (what is there is accurate, though), its a little funky to setup, the   
   user   
   interface is a bit inconsistant, and the pure Java client is a little slow.    
   I'm   
   not sure that the enterprise version addresses these issues or not.   
      
   Anyway, can someone tell me what other low-end ssl based vpn systems are   
   available?   
   (Yes, I've DAGS, but I'm not finding a whole bunch)
