&gt; Subject: [ale] hardware firewall
&gt; 
&gt; I am needing a hardware firewall in order to connect from a 
&gt; home machine to a company LAN.  Although I like using 
&gt; Freesco, the IT department really prefers me using a hardware 
&gt; firewall if I am going to have access to the network.
&gt; 
&gt; Anyone have a preference?  I've not needed one before, so I 
&gt; am not familiar with them.

Cisco PIX or one of the Checkpoint/Sofaware Appliances. Might be pricey, but
I don't recommend products I wouldn't use myself to protect my employer's
network, and that appears to be the object of the exercise, at least from
the perspective of your IT department.
