What's the going rate for firewall/network engineer consultant work in the Boston area?
I'm a senior network engineer type, routers, switches, firewalls, etc. I've got a chance to do a few tasks as an independent consult for some folks at a startup that doesn't really have much in the way of IT staff, yet. They're still just a handful of folks, so most of their network is running off a single switch, but they're looking for some outside help for setting up a box for remote access VPNs.

Can you price by project instead of by hour? That's usually better for all concerned- they get a fixed price, and you get incentive to get it done quicker.
