Taps are much too expensive to use for casual home stuff. Taps are most useful in an environment where you can't span all the ports off a large core switch. A hub between the cable modem and fw will work just fine and be very cheap.
I've got a tap here that cost me $20. :) It's a 4-port 10 Mbps Netgear hub and the Read-Only cable as outlined in the Snort FAQ. Works like a charm for me. Frank
