For a full firewall on either a dedicated system or one of your own, I cannot strongly enough recommend Astaro Linux firewall. Better throughput than a pix, worlds easier to operate and configure, and comparable in price. Very SIP/VoIP friendly. Loads of optional modules (we use its mail filter module to filter spam/viruses for several hundred thousand user mailboxes, for instance) to limit the cost to what you need. Also has a built in SIP Proxy, although I've never used it. Excellent platform. Of course, at home, I just use a little Linksys WRT box. It's hardly a corporate-grade firewall, but it's quite SIP-friendly.
