Adtran "sbox" vs Check Point SMB

We have not received the Adtran unit for evaluation. This week I am finishing evaluation of PIX, Nortel, and two AT&T products (one of which we have proven to have serious security exposures), and we need to make our decision very soon.

We have serious qualms about the security of any Check Point product, but we realize that a SOHO box is not going to provide "perfect" security. It appears that the Safe@Office is the minimum configuration for our purposes.
