 Have a look at smoothwall GPL, right out of the box it blocks 
 anything above :1024, and has 2 zones. 3 nics, install in old PC, you're ready 
to rumble. I wouldn't give 'em any privvies, but then you can remote admin the 
thing over SSL from your desk, in the event they had some oddity needing higher 
ports. 20 meg download, you can have it running in about 30 minutes.
  If the free GPL version won't do it, they offer a commercial version, 
although 0 experience with it here -
  
  cheers,
