[nflug] Cisco Router Question

[Darin Perusich]

there is a specific version of IOS that you'll need, it contains the 
firewall feature set. i think it needs at least 128Mb of ram and the 
optional crypto accelerator card. we have a 2600 with both but we're 
currently not useing it for vpns.

you might find it easier to use openbsd to setup the vpn between these 
two sites. openbsd really accels at vpn, and firewall applications. its 
what i use for my personel home firewall for my cable modem. i'm sure 
that you'll find pf to be much easier the iptables.
