For your user count, a $650 WG SOHO 6|TC 50 user  should do the job.  I
haven't set one up to hit checkpoint, but they have documents on their
website on how to do it.  It works fine with my pix.

Thanks for the ideas. I hope to start testing them this next week. Yeah
for some reason my Cisco router in Mexicali is having trouble with the
point-to-point VPN. I was hoping it would be that easy LOL  =) Thanks
again.

Yeah, you should be able to do site to site easily. Just about any small
firewall appliance can vpn to your checkpoint box.=20

Hi Zachary,

One solution is to get point-to-point VPN, so VPN client is not
required.

Another solution - build a local MetaFrame box (keep it for a month) and
use=20 it as a pass-through for your CE clients to your "production"
MetaFrame.

Install VPN client on this "pass-through" box.
