Michael M. is the expert here.  He recommended SonicWall to me a few years
ago.  Has been fabulous.  Don't think it matters whether a MAC or MS OS
machine.  Also acts like a hub so I can put a few machines together.

You do need a virus protection too.  I like online McAffe because it is
continually updated, but there may be others just as good.

Again.  check with MJM.
