I think your client means "not regular pc/linux or unix/command line solution", but rather an appliance, which is "plug, go to web interface, click, click, click and it works". Also from technical point there should be no hard disk drive (no file system, that can become inconsistent in case of crash or power failure), no peripherial (monitor, keybord, mouse(?). Then pfSense/m0n0wall + WRAP platform is your choice. look at http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/gallery.php your firewall cn be an i386 compatible 1u or 2u 19" rack mountable server, or as small as smallest linksys or D-link or netgear box with no moving parts. Hope that helps, Dmitry
