Most folks hold the Cisco PIX in high regard for
firewall and VPN, but the cost of deploying a router
in line with a firewall at my employer's small remote
offices looks prohibitive, even for PIX 501's.  We're
looking at turning on the firewall and VPN stuff on
our small IOS routers, and I wondered if anyone had
opinions of the new CBAC functionality and router
client-mode VPN connections.

Thanks for input.
