We've currently deployed about 12 HiFn cards in our VPN endpoints on 
soekris boxes.  Moving forward, when our company deploys the VPN 
solution to the rest of our employees I could see our quantities going 
up even further.... if the card is better supported.  As a note, you may 
want to hit up the soekris mailing list because they sell those HiFn 
encryption cards.
