Hi,

I've been running a firewall called Smoothwall Linux 2.0. I don't really know 
if that's what you're looking for, as it requires a machine dedicated to the 
firewall (I'm using an old P200 with 32MB RAM, although even this spec is a 
big overkill for my needs).

Smoothwall Linux 2.0 is still in the Beta stage, but you can get Smoothwall 
1.0 if you like (my NIC wasn't supported by 1.0's kernel), which is a final 
version.

The URL is http://smoothwall.org

Cheers,
Martin
