Anyone familiar with an inexpensive firewall appliance that I can use that has some features of enterprise level. I want to get some hands on experience. Even if it's an older model.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations

There
are a lot of free ones and some that are inexpensive out there. PC Tools has a free one. I recently went through this exercise. I used Google.

Get any old PC, two NICs & whatever Linux you like best.
I'm getting to like Debian over Mandrake. I've greatly enjoyed iptables, and enthusiastically recommend the book Linux Firewalls, Second Edition by Ziegler, publisher = New Riders.
In addition to providing example firewalls for many common scenarios, he explained TCP/IP and firewall principles thoroughly, and succinctly enough that this novice now sprouts off like I know what I'm talking about!

In hindsight, I searched Techrepublic forums and came out with Smoothwall as a test option for me and thanks for the book recommendation, will try that too.

Can you price it?
What would or how much would you consider "inexpensive" ?
This would help to narrow down the field a bit.

From the perspective of learning - about $100-200 and just to clarify I am not looking for a personal firewall.
Thanks...
