It´s true, that you can use a 486 for Firewall, but a prefer to a P-II or AMD K6-2 as minium requieremnt for 1 Mbit. The problem ist not the traffic, but the syslog. We have serveral costumers, who are connected with 2 mbit. If someone portscan your system or tries an dos-attack, increased your system load dramaticly and the traffic stops :(

Hey,

Well, if you compile a kernel with ip-forwarding turned on

disabled, one would expect that the router is faster because the code is just missing in the kernel. On a reasonably fast machine I'd say that these effects should be neglectable. But what do think is a reasonable machine? What will I need for a simple firewall with Internet (1 MBit), DMZ (Mailserver) and a local network in terms of MHz and MByte?
for me works a 486-with i think 33 MHZ and 12 MB RAM. It connects my wireless lan to the internet (adsl - german telekom)
Greetings Torsten
Thanks, Bernhard
