Believe me, I am pushing for one. It's ridiculous but next time they find one of their servers turned being used for porn, pirated software and movies, they might consider it -- it has however happened in the past but they just live with it, from what I've been told...

Just because they don't have one doesn't mean you can't push for one! I never settle for status quo if there are valid reasons for changing for the better, and in this case it's clear cut - you can find plenty of documentation on firewalls being a best practice for being connected to the Internet. I'm a pee-on in the big scheme of Textron but that doesn't mean I haven't been able to get changes implemented (slooooowly to be sure, but still..), so there's no reason you shouldn't be able to do the same. If they can't justify even a $50 firewall how can they justify being on the 'net.

Your whole network is just begging to be hacked.
