Linksys Firewall/router

Now seems like a good time to ask this:

Does anyone have any recommendations on a dialup modem equivalent of Linksys
cable/DSL router?  I've asked this at meetings before and think that the rest
of the list may want to also know what the response is.

I remember hearing about something called webramp or some such, and that possibly
Cisco makes such a device, but does anyone have any links?   Have you used one
personally?  Is it good enough to run a business off of?

TIA,

	Tony
