The ITServ Rideway product seems to be overkill for your needs -- I 
doubt you need VPN.  The Rideway/IS doesn't include VPN and costs 
about 60% less than the full Rideway, but that's still $600.  

For $600 you get a firewall along with it, and it does seem to be 
more than the "firewall" that many NAT providers claim.

If $600 is more than you wanted to spend, you could use a very 
inexpensive software solution.  Until I got IDSL and a router (which 
provides its own NAT), I used the NAT software from Sygate.  It was 
simple to install and use, and it worked very reliably.  Not bad for 
less than $50.  You can get more info at
