FreeBSD + ipfilter can do all your routing, packet filtering, PAT/NAT work just fine, and with more flexibility for interfaces. The speedbump for this project will be obtaining an HDLC WAN card to talk to the V.35 interface on the 1600. Try www.etinc.com (comes with an excellent bandwidth-manager included with their PCI cards), www.sangamo.com, www.lanmedia.com. The card will cost several $100.
