 Why not? No physical space? If you have an old 'doorstop' machine, grab 
 a 20-meg smoothwall *.iso and live live in peace. We fed a few machines here on a
 56K external modem; this worked well. That was a P133 with 24 RAM. And the machines
 are a variety of M$ and *nix. Honestly, with 1 NIC you can do this in 20-30 minutes.
 
 There's a stable 1.0, and a bleeding edge beta available.
 
 " ... Specifications include: 2.4.21 kernel (as of beta5), new user interface (beta0), ext3 filesystem (beta0), 
iptables (beta0), 
increased support for USB ADSL devices, including Thomson/Alcatel Speedtouch, U.S. Robotics SureConnect and 
Fujitsu/Westell (ECI chipset 
devices) (much improved in beta4). ..."
