1) DO NOT RUN WINDOZE 98 on the net!  Don't Do it!



2) what do you consider inexpensive? Plan on investing at least a couple 


hundred bucks if you want good protection. (a couple hundred *IS* 


inexpensive - firewalls can run well over 10 grand for a high end box!)



Those things said, Cisco Pix boxes are pretty well respected. Sonicwall 


and watchgaurd are also good.



Do NOT get anything made by Netgear or any of the Linksys stuff.
