Router or hardware firewall? If you're looking at building a firewall, why not look at IPCOP? It has DMZ, VPN, DHCP server... Posted by Grim on April 04 2004,11:17
You want Coyote Linux. It fits on a floppy, you don't even need a hard drive or CD-ROM.It should work with your hardware, if not you may want to check the < Linux Router Project >. It's dead, but there are floppy images that should also do the job. Pretty much the same requirements for LRP as for Coyote. Posted by gekkokid on April 04 2004,12:30

I used a 75Mhz Pentium and 16M RAM to route to two machines. It seemed to work fine. Anything better than that should give you no problems.
