I second Curtis LaMasters.  I love pfsense.

I have 6 of them currently in production.  I have two that are connecting
two office locations that replaced a mission dedicated leased line with
regular Cox business internet.  They have been running for 2 years.

I just checked the uptime.

My end
Uptime 186 days, 15:18

Remote end
Uptime 315 days, 18:02

I'm looking for opinions / advice on the above.  I'm by no means a network
guy, but need to evaluate / recommend a setup for our network at work.
Cross platform client support is a must (nix, mac, and win).  SSL VPN, IDS,
etc.  Where should I look?  I'm coming here to prevent marketing / buzzword
overload.  Also, while I'm not afraid of configuration, I'd prefer a more
'RonCo' approach, where maintenance is lower.

If nothing else, the correct places / companies to look at.
