Netscreen makes some very good 'black box | appliance' firewall/VPN devices.
Scalable from SOHO/ROBO to Enterprise class. Probably the best
price/performance you'll find among the commercial firewall vendors.

In addition to the traditional [1] CheckPoint solutions, there is also
'SecurePlatform'. Linux/Intel based and incredibly simple- Boot from CD-ROM
and answer a few config questions.

HTH!

[1] Solaris, Windows, Nokia, Linux
