There are several available at various price points. Your best bet is to
search the web. Look for products that are specifically touted as "firewall
devices" or "hardware firewalls" and not cable/dsl routers. The products
data*** should indicate if the product incorporates packet filtering and
access control. Zyxel's Zywall 1 may be just what your looking for at a
reasonable price. It has considerably more capabilities than you are given
with a typical cable/dsl router.
