[RndTbl] internet security appliances

[Theodore]

I've heard that the products from FortiNet are really good 
(http://www.fortinet.com/), good as a router, does vpn and that kinda 
stuff, and also does antivirus stuff. I've never used one, but from what 
i've hard from people who use them, and from the presentation at IPAM's 
security conference last year, I was very impressed.
