[sdw2003] SSL-VPN Appliances

[JC Harkins]

I have a customer that uses the Sonicwall SSL-VPN 200. When it works, it
seems to do OK, just a bit slow for the outside users. It usually needs to
be rebooted once a week to keep it working and Sonicwall has been no help as
to why.

When the current support contract expires, I'm going to move the VPN
function to a Win 2K3 server. If I have to baby sit something, it's not
worth it!
