The Draytek 2600 seems to be good.  I have them in stock here, although 
we usually bundle them with other things.  I can work out a price if you 
just want one.

I also recommend that you go to one of the ISP's (like zen or anlx) who 
can do you a block of real IP addresses and don't change anymore (yes, 
even on the domestic package).  Then you can give all your computers 
real IP addresses and don't mess around with stupid NATS.
