I am starting up another ISP and I would like to know what firewall should
I use. Is the filtering on the Cisco good enough? I would like to separate
my internal network from the Inter yet still have access to the internet
from those machine. Should I setup a Linux box with a couple of network
cards as my Firewall, or should I buy a dedicated piece of equipement for
that? I dont like the holes that linux tends to have. What does anyone
suggest???

Also what equipment should I put before the firewall and which should I put
behind it. Should I put the PM3 before or after the firewall, Hows about
the NT server for Web hosting, Unix sendmail server and dns?????
