I am looking for a Internet router/firewall in which I can
programmically configure. I don't need any special "functionallity"
in the unit, just the standard types of features one gets in the low
end home unit. The one feature I do need is the ability to easily
configure the unit via my own custom Windows/Linux program.

From my understanding of IOS, the Cisco 881 or 851 is a perfect
solution. There is one problem, my customers are mom and pop folks
that cannot see purchasing such expensive hardware. I am
wondering... Might someone here know of hardware other then Cisco
that has a programmer interface to configure the unit? I know they
all have web interfaces that I could programmically interact with, but
I would like something a bit more stable and consistent.

If this is the wrong forum for such a question, which I am guessing it
is, any recommendations on what forum is the right one?

Buy some hardware with big enough RAM/Flash -
http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware - install openwrt and modify it
as you want. Just keep in mind GPL license if you want to modify
someone's soft.

Sound like a job for IP Cop. I have one running on a Pentium III
333gHz for a couple of years. When you install it, it installs its on
distribution of Linux. It is easy to admin. It has VPN etc.

Mom and Pop will love you.
