There's really no comparison between the two. The Cisco device is simply a router, ISA is a firewall. If they have a routed subnet coming from their ISP, then they can use it between the ISA and the ISP. If they don't then they can use it internally to segregate a couple of subnets.

I myself am not familiar enough with setting up Cisco devices or to answer that question therefore I suggested using ISA but I figured I'd try here for a 2nd opinion. Anyone have any docs on configuring this type of setup? I'm talking dummy proof with either pictures or detailed explanations of where everything would go. Any responses are appreciated.
