First you are in the wrong list.  Second check right now that the 
maintenance password of your router is not still set to the manufacturers 
original default.  Third, SCO and Linux based firewalls are no challenge 
to a skilled cracker, so they will be through them very quickly.  Fourth,
suggest the following in the part of your diagram which says firewall:

Screend running on BSDI Unix on a 386 or 486, with all non-essential 
binaries removed;

connected to a TIS Gauntlet or Black Hole or Janus firewall;

connected to a Cisco or Wellfleet or Eagle router, connected into your 
internal network.

Now that is a challenge, multiple layers of difficulty, running on 
different operating systems.
