Anyone know if this firewall is decent? Are there any better around the same price range? (The Cisco PIX 506E is going for about $850-$999) Any recommendations? This is for a k-8 private school with about 150 PCs. We currently have a Free BSD box acting as the firewall that our ISP manages. After I hounded the IS manager for several months (I'm the system admin.) about our poor security (and after many, many machines being infected and our network being exploited and DOSed) he gave in to buying somehthing more robust and commerical. We are investigating different hardware firewalls and this was the one recommended by our ISP. I personally would like a packet filtering firewall w/ antivirus/Spam filtering/Intrusion detection/and network analysis capabilities (packet analyzation and QoS), and Logging and Reports. Something like the new Symantec firewall device (don't remember the model). That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure I will think of more things later.

Thanks in advance for your comments!
