    Or can I get the same certificates from 3com for 30-50% less work and knowledge?

    Yeah, because look at how secure 3COM's officeconnect firewalls are. If you are a neophite to networking, then you can go with a 3com "my first NAT device" or now, a 3com "my first router". But if you have an office enviorment, you might want to look at a real security product, such as a PIX.
