I would  seriously  advise you to look a little bit further:

Contact Tushar at Turtle Networks. He I'm sure can configure a good firewall

Also contact Anthony at Rockstone Linux.
I talked to them at Linux Expo, and their firewalls are very, very
cost effective.

We eventually settled on a product called the Netscreen -
but these and come with Ethernet interfaces.
