    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.
