Or maybe...

+ Add a second NIC ("external" NIC) to the SBS
+ Assign the external NIC an IP in the same subnet as the LAN side of the
PIX
+ Run a cable from the PIX to the external PIX
+ Port forward port 1723 and GRE Protocol 47 to the IP of the external NIC
+ Run a cable from the SBS internal NIC to the switch
+ Connect all workstations tothe switch (which is now behind the SBS)
+ Re-run CEICW
