harware firewall

[wol]

Ive got a mate that has already got an ADSL modem/switch and WAP but now wants to add a basic hardware firewall into the equation.

Rather than buying one with the adsl modem/switch/wireless built in he'd rather buy a standalone one as he's already got these bits.


Any suggestions?


Please dont say ipcop!

you could use smoothwall or clerkconnect in ethernet "mode"

What about the symantec firewalls ?

they aint all that cheap though ( no hardware firewall is )

Im actually rethinking the IPcop route as it comes pretty much setup already. The only problem is the size of the box.....
