What would be the best way to determine what kind of firewall is
running on a server? Especially one that does not give out any
banners. TCP-fingerprinting is not possible because there are
no obvious open ports.

If it's a Firewall-1 v4.1 and you hit a Reject rule (one that generates a
RST+ACK from the firewall), within the IP header, the ID field will be 0 and
the original TTL set to 59.
