You can still do this. You put two NICs in the linux firewall, place it between the
router and the network and point the other machines to the firewall as the default
gateway. This should work.
Also, as someone mentioned in a private question, the Accend Pipeline 75 performs the
same function as my 3Com, but provides a firewall in the router as part of the
package.
I cannot attest to the quality of this firewall, or to the quality of the linux
firewall for that matter. Since I am not serving anything to the net, I just have
incomming unsolicited packets turned off and no one gets in.

Don't give me any ideas like that!
I have little enough free time already! :-)
