I had installed an 1800 router some time ago that we had also included the crypto aim module to ensure better performing VPN. This router was going to be used for a remote office connection with back office connectivity over the internet via the ipsec vpn tunnel. Of course the Cisco numbers said it could easily do what we wanted and for the price looked to be a great solution. However after putting it to a real world test, we could only get 14Mbs or so of traffic through the vpn tunnel due to the proc and memory. Needless to say we ended up getting an ASA which was a little more but did the job perfectly! Thanks again for the great comment! John,
