Hi Nick,
 
Here's my view of the ISA appliances at this time:
 
Network Engines NS series -- exceptionally hardened. As provides the
closest experience you'll find to an "hardware firewall" you'll ever see
with an ISA appliance.
 
Rimapp RoadBLOCK -- swiss army knife of ISA appliances. Has tons of add
ons. Not sure yet how well they all work with each other when turned on.
 
HP DL320 ISA box -- Pre-install. Ask your wife to install Win2003 and
ISA and bring the box back to you. OK, there is some server management
software on the box too.
 
Celestix -- Haven't seen it.
 
HTH,
 
Tom

http://www.ISAserver.org

We are in the process of preparing our fiscal budget and our current
ISA2000 is on the block to be replaced.  Instead of talking to sales
people about how great their product is I wanted to hear from those here
that have gained any knowledge about the new ISA appliances.  I'm just
looking for any pros and/or cons that aren't obvious - any pitfalls I
may encounter with an appliance that I'm already use to doing with my
current setup?  Thanks!
