Hi folks.
I need to replace a Cisco PIX 501 unlimited license firewall at a customer site. The customer has cable internet, and the cable modem took a lightening strike. The replacement modem has Gb Ethernet instead of 10/100. The PIX "outside" port is 10/100 and the two will not negotiate a speed. The Internet provider states they can not modify the ethernet port speed on the cable modem.
The network has 30 PC's and one server (Novell).
I need a relatively low cost, basic firewall that can connect to a cable modem with Gb ethernet. Right now I have them connected with a Linksys broadband router. I want more than a NAT device, but do not need any VPN features.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It runs on any PC or cheap server hardware, or you can buy one of their appliances.
