Symantec bought them out, disco'd most entry level models, only keeping their upper end models in production under the "Symantec" lable, with added VPN features. The model 100, 200, and 200 R (which are basically hopped up Pro 800 Turbo's)

Still have my ISB SOHO in the drawer as one of my backups. Blinding fast little sucker.

The entry models like the ISB SOHO are completely discontinued. The models like Symantecs 100, 200, 200R, are very fast. I installed a 200r where I used to work.

You can pick up ISB SOHO's on eBay. Realize there is no further support for them, no new firmware will ever be released. But they still work, if you find one for little $$$...why not? Mine still runs fine.

Other routers that are quite fast...Compex, and you can find Netopia/Cayman 3546's around...that's what I'm using now. I love it.
