Hello Jim, As for me, I have a PC with two ethernet ports running IPCop(www.ipcop.org) for the last three years and it works great!!! It has everything that I need in a firewall/router. As for the PC, IPCop can be run on like 64megs mem, 10 gb hd and at least a PII. In another words, no much of a PC. I got a 800MHZ PIII, 256meg mem, 18g hd. Way over kill but hey it all works!!!!
