Hum you could pick up a cisco pix 506e new or used for fairly cheap ranging in price from 600 to 1500. I bought mine for my home network for 850 new sealed in the box on ebay. It had a unrestricted lic and vs 6.3 of the firmware. Good luck on your search.
You could also use http://www.ipcop.org which nice dedicated solution. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: dallas jordan <dallas.jordan () gmail com> Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 15:28:55 -0500 Subject: Re: Need secure firewall for SOHO To: "DAmbrosia, Jim" <Jim.DAmbrosia () montgomerycollege edu> Jim, He can run OpenBSD on a fairly low power pc and it will do just fine. Then he can us a 16 port switch for his clients. That would be fairly cheap and OpenBSD is an excellent firewall, both performance and security wise.

He is using astandard Linksys router for his firewall, but has reached a limit in the number of ports it can open and manage. I don't have one on hand to check, but evidently the Linksys only has ten slots to configure ports to be opened and he needs 12-15 or so.Without a lot of money he wants to get a different firewall up andrunning that has more ports that it can manage.I suggested the free version of zone alarm as the only free one I'maware of; however it turns out that he wrote his thesis on how you can crack zone alarm.Looking for another much more secure solution?
