Lightweight standalones? WAS: BlackIce Defender???

I've never heard of such a thing, but are there any little (desktop) 2-port standalone firewalls available? I would think with the growing popularity of cable and DSL access that such a thing would be quite practical, and IMO setting up a *nix-based PC for the task seems like overkill. All it would need is 2 ports, an RS-232 and some firmware. I personally don't even have any need for NAT but I would prefer to move the filtering off my PC to a separate box. I checked the Nokia site and it seems like their low-end standalone is close to what I'm describing, but I'm guessing it still costs quite a bit. Sean
