Hey all!
I have been researching a solution for our office so that we can get rid of some obsolete hardware, as well hardware that is subscription-based. I haven't been able to find what I was looking for, so I was hoping someone here could help.
We have a Juniper SSG-5 running as a gateway to our Windows Server 2003 machine. The SSG-5 is subscription-based and the company that installed it no longer supports it. Juniper wants A LOT to extend the subscription for the firewall/virus service. Since the device is OLD and at EOL, it would be a waste to throw good money after bad.
What I am looking for is a Linux distro to install on a spare machine (Dell PowerEdge 1950)that will to the following:
So, based on the information I have provided, is there a solution out there for the gateway/firewall that will meet my needs? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

- Replace the SSG as our firewall/gateway
- Manage our 5 external IP Adresses (FiOS)
- Web Server to host a new website that is being developed
- Communications Server to host a video teleconferencing solution and PBX system
- SMTP/POP3 mail server
- SMS Gateway
So, based on the information I have provided, is there a solution out there for the gateway/firewall that will meet my needs? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
