Home DSL security for a neophyte

amazed that there seem to be no 'good' solutions for home users, i.e. under $200 solutions.
What are list members currently using on DSL/cable setups? Anyone encountered better products for the average home user?
I joined this list a month ago for just this reason. I am not a security or firewall expert at all. I've signed up for DSL (coming any day now) and am looking for a decent solution for my small home office network (one Win95 box and one WinNT 4.0 box). So far I've come across the UMAX UGate 3000 as a possible hardware solution, though it is a bit pricey. And have heard of some software solutions. Also, saw a press release article in Computer Currents for a new offerring from Norton/Symantec (forget the product name). Any opinions on what I should get? So far, I'm leaning towards the UMAX box, mostly because a co-worker has had good success with it (though it doesn't support VPN, yet) and I don't have to be security expert to get it up and running. Thanks in advance, mike rizzi
