I'd advise getting an old Pentium box (pick up a P200mmx w/ 64mb 4gb for about £100) and run a *BSD on there, use it as your router and firewall.

I'm trying, but having 'fun' working out IPTables / Shorewall.

Thats after the battle i had getting it to accept my USB ADSL Modem bloody Fujitsu not doing any linux drivers. heh

I can get it to work (ish) just not feed data back from the firewall to the LAN, then the firewall has a habbit of just crashing... yes, linux just locks up too.
