dennis,
There are many reasonable options based on price, expertise, size & shape of
your network, staffing, etc, etc.
Any recommendation would be suspect without you having already developed (at
least) a minimal security policy.
To borrow from another (long AND tedious) thread , "Know your enemy". Also,
know your network (that is what you're protecting, after all)
best,
Jim

Hello Folks,
I just got handed the assignment to find, install and configure a firewall.
All of the web browsing gave me "tmi", too much information. If someone on
this list could reply with what firewall products they are using and why
they have chosen that brand it would save me from having to wade through all
the crap to get to the good stuff. I have NT 4.0 [ serfer & workstations] a
couple of 95 and 98 workstations, MSexchange 5.5, and a few Access databases
on a couple of servers. Nothing really fancy. 15 workstations and internet
connection through frame relay. Not to exciting, but the boss wants more
security in-light of the recent 'hacker' attacks in the newspapers. Any help
will be most appreciated.
