VPN hardware question

[BNB]

In the past I've just used the microsoft vpn in 2003. I'm setting up a new network which about 10 people will be connecting over vpn. Is there any need to go with an expensive cisco vpn router, over a 100 dollar linksys one?

Thanks

I would say no, and if you are using Exchange and Outlook 2003 you can skip the VPN as they connect over RPC. unless you need VPN for File and remote network printing, but then again there ways around that (Sharepoint for instance)

Basically, it is just for connecting to a Quickbooks file and thats it. At another company I work for, I just use the server as the vpn, and use sharepoint, etc on it. They want this more secure.
