I second this suggestion. We've been using IPCop for firewalls in
several offices. We haven't found a machine that wont run it (assuming
the hardware is good, once you let the smoke out, even Linux can't save
it). Easy to install and has a nice web-based console for most
everything you need to adjust, and SSH as well if you'd like.
