IPCOP it is. I neglected to mention that the wireless AP would be open access for all, including internal use. The picture below is roughly what I'll be doing.
I happen to have a spare 586 sitting around waiting for a Linux image, and IPCOP does both firewall and routing. Basically, for free, and that's the selling point.
Thanks to all for the help!
p.s. The KCLUG.NET address went very quickly.

small network whose owner wants to make it available for web-browsing to anyone roaming the neighborhood via wireless. However, as best I know this gives access to the other computers on the network, and I'm curious to know if there is a way to expose a single computer to the world as a wireless server, without giving access to the rest of the network.
Internet to 5-port switch Switch to Wireless AP and a NAT/Firewall device NAT/Firewall to private network
