Well - it isn't that old. It is a Compaq Desktop EN, Pentium III with about 500MB RAM. But there is only one Ethernet-Connection which - I guess - can be solved by using a Hub or Switch, isn't it?
I now got a Linksys WRT54GL to which Eric Reymond refers to in "Linksys Blue Box Router HOWTO"[2].

FREESCO is a NAT/firewall router/server based on Linux and runs on a single 1.44MB floppy[1].
