first of al, I would not recommend using a low end cable/dsl firewall to protect your T1...that's just my recommendation.
that said, I would guess yes.
Because most likely, they will tell you to get a cisco 1700 series router with 1 ethernet port and 1 WIC card. From the router's ethernet interface, you can plug into your firewall's ethernet port or directly into a switch port. So yes, it will work. But again, I would not recommend using a cheap cable/dsl firewall for your T1.
I would go with at least something like a checkpoint vpn edge firewall appliance. the low end is under $500.
