Well, I don't think any platform is so secure that you can just "plug the router in to
the hub". I'm not really a Mac guy, but this link has information on how the U.S.
Army switched from an NT-based solution to a Mac-based product called WebStar:

Hope this helps.

I need some advice on what options there are to provide a small network of
Macs with a low cost firewall; I have a client with a LAN of 30 Macs who
wants a leased line and a mail server installed on his LAN, and wants the
machines on his LAN to be able to reach the net. The general advice I'm
getting is that Macs are difficult to hack into, so just plug his Cisco
1600 straight into his ethernet hub ... but I don't think I'd sleep too
well without some sort of firewall so I'd be very grateful if someone can
tell me what my options are (the solution needs to be low cost).
