I use an RV082 and a WRV54G. I'm very happy with their performance. Haven't played with the load balancing of the RV082 but otherwise it's nice and easy to set up. I have both units connected back to a main site via an IPSec tunnel connecting to a m0n0wall box. I haven't played with the proprietary vpn software but you probably don't need it if you know what you're doing.

I'm looking for input for a VPN DEVICE compatible with Linux? I'd like to have something in place by the end of the week. There are two hardware units I'm looking at... Linksys BEFVP41: Linksys site: http://tinyurl.com/a9zsq Pricegrabber: http://tinyurl.com/74kk8 Linksys RV042: Linksys site: http://tinyurl.com/c7d5m Pricegrabber: http://tinyurl.com/9tqk7 The RV042 is about $50 more than the BEFVP41 but it will appearently balance the outgoing connections between both cable and DSL. Since both are in the house, this may be beneficial. I wonder how well it works, however. In any case, I'm worried about HOW the client machines will connect to the VPN. Most VPN vendors bring with them a proprietary client software application (both Cisco and Nortel do). I am HOPING that we can just enable IPSec on the Linux clients and automagically connect in somehow. Point being, all three (Windows, Mac, Linux) need to play well with it.
