Hello All

I am looking for some opinions or experiences from this knowledgeable 
group.  We are
going to get an internet connection that will come from the phone company 
into our
frame relay network.  Our AS400 and Novell file servers are all connected 
to this same
network.  The phone company is saying that we can use the router as a 
firewall rather
than buying a true firewall.  Are there any of you out there that are or 
would consider doing that?  It makes me nervous as there are 4 banks 
running on our AS400.
