We have a VPN setup between my house (the remote office) and our main office.
We used a pair of Linksys BEFVP41s at first and are using a pair of Netgear
FVS318s now.  Both work okay.  I've heard that the more expensive ones
(Webguard, Cisco, etc) are more seamless and reliable, but Netgear has a 3 or
5 year warranty and it's working acceptably.

Now if I could just get the Linksys to talk to the Netgear...
