   I'd strongly suggest you avoid using Windows native client-the IPSEC   
   is very difficult and confusing to set up.  Even experts have trouble   
   with it.   
      
   As for the firewall, I'd recommend the Zywall-you get way more for   
   your money. You'd want to connect an ADSL modem to the WAN port   
   of the firewall. That way, you'd be using the Zywall or Sonicwall as   
   the NAT router. You don't need two router, of course-only one.
