   Need help choosing a Wireless VPN router

   Here's the deal... I'm looking for a low cost wireless router that can   
   handle site to site VPN and VPN for remote users.  One site (primary)   
   has 10 users, the other has 5 then 4 people that will need to be able to   
   connect to the resources on the primary site.  Both sites have static IPs.   
      
   Right now, the they are Netscreen 5XP for the site to site.  But so far,   
   it doesn't work as it's suppose to and the sites lose their VPN   
   connection a few times a day.  No one, remote users or the 2ns site can   
   browse the network and when transfering large files people lose their   
   VPN connection.  BTW, when the VPN connection is lost, it shows it's   
   still connected on the system tray but when you pull the client software   
   up, it shows it's not connected.  This causes remote users to have to   
   reboot their system to reconnect.   
      
   Now, I'm looking at this new Linksys WRV54G, but I've been seeing posts   
   where it doesn't have some features they had with their previous end   
   points and some features just don't work.  I also looked saw that Dlink   
   have a VPN box, but I can't get any info from them and the Sonicwall TZW   
   seems like the best best, but I don't want to spend over a grand to find   
   it doesn't work.   
      
   I've got a DSL connection here at home and also a friend who has a cable   
   connection at his home for use to run tests on whatever I figure out   
   will work b4 I present this new option to the company.  Anyone got a   
   suggestion where I can get 2 VPN boxes for site to site for me to test   
   with where the total cost will be under $500 smackers?   
      
   TIA!!
