RE: VPN solutions

Thanks Dana, if I choose site-to-site topology, which Cisco router will
be good at corporate site, which one is good for remote site? Is Cisco
2600XM and Cisco 831 (or SHHO 90) a good pair of the VPN routers?
Can different brand routers work together? Like Cisco to Netgear?
If I configure an IOS firewall onto a 2600XM router, is this good enough
for the security? Do I need to buy another PIX firewall before the
router?
Thanks in advance.

Roger

If you're going to be using client software (as opposed to a 
site-to-site or router-to-router topology), then you'd be better off 
using a Cisco VPN 3000 series concentrator.  The client-related features

are better with the 3000 than they are with the IOS routers.
