If you're running SIMS on something light like less than 100 users then something inexpensive like a Linksys router with firewall will work just fine. Ther are others just as good - I have a Speedstream 5861 that works quite well at home. Anything more than that and I'd suggest either: 1) Building a firewall machine from scratch. Smoothwall and OpenBSD are fairly easy to configure for firewall duty. I use OpenBSD myself. 2) Buying a commercial router. Cisco has 2600 series routers that support DSL, T1, and Frame quite effectively. Although this would require learning IOS.
