I'd second the inexpensive NAT box idea.  I know a lot of people who
use the Linksys cable modem router/firewall.  I use their wireless
version right now and it works and works well.  And it will have
that tech support option your folks like...

Although, I'd weigh in with Mr. McGuire also, I wouldn't worry about
a NetBSD (or OpenBSD, my preference) sparc box being reliable... the
only reason I'm not using one right now is because I got the wireless
gateway/cable router for LESS than the plain access point.  I'm debating
switching back.. we'll see =)
