We are just beginning to use Cisco 800 series SOHO VPN routers for just
this purpose. They work fine (one of the "test units" is on my home
network), but they connect back to our ASA VPN concentrator. You may
want to consider that option any way -- we rely on that VPN anywhere
communications need to be secured, whether wireless or remote to campus.
Several other ASAs are used as firewalls between network segments, other
than that it's a Cisco box, they're great. (Our core remains non-Cisco ;-)
