I'm starting to think that my buddies idea is one of the best things to do. Get yourself a cheap computer, basic CD/DVD burner, install basic OS and your ISP software. NO PERSONEL info at all... Make a copy of it on CD/DVD and your ready to go. It's now your firewall. You can later add any programs you need for on-line ventures. Your other computers AV software and spyware can protect itself from info burned to it or you can risk networking it (not recommended).
If you have an old PC, you can make it into a nice firewall appliance. High end would be to load ISA server on it. But you can also do it for free with nix and one of the free nix firewall apps. Just add a second nic card and load the software, instant firewall. And old 500MHz PIII would work fine.
