Less than $200 per seat or less than $200 TOTAL for the entire
firewall solution??

If it's less than $200 then it's not a firewall.

Hi,

ZyWALL2 Plus is perfect for less than 10 users network, but you are
talking about 50 PCs in your network.

I think you have to think of ZyWALL 35 or even ZyWALL 70 for your
network and I prefer that you go with UTM models for full Internet
protection ( Anti-virus, Anti-Spam, IDS/IPS, Content filtering,
firewalling .... etc) which is supported on ZyXEL ZyWALL UTM models
like 5,35,70 and 1050.

And what happens when the load is increased....

My experience with ZyXel support is about the same as Dell support,
sucks.
