Need recommendations- Router with VPN endpoint (T1)

[cranbiz]

I originally posted this in the Cisco forum, but feel that this may be a better forum.

We currently have a Cisco 1720 router on a fractional t1 that the internal ethernet port failed. We are thinking that it just may be better to replace it with a new router with a VPN endpoint in it.

I'm looking for recommendations on what everyone is using, what they like / dislike about it, the ease / difficulty of setting it up, costs etc.

This is a small (25) user network, but would like to have VPN ability for up to 5 users.

Because out outside connectivity is down right now, we need to move on this right away.

Thanks for your help.

I would add cisco 5xx PIX firewall for VPN and security.

I agree with Bob. We use a PIX 515 and it is excellent. I may be mistaken, but I think the 1720 has a VPN option in one of the firmwares. Just in case you wanted to replace the one you have...

Or are you talking about replacing your T1 with VPN?

Thanks,
