A router is necessary when the machine you're using becomes to slow
to handle the load. There's no reason why you can't just grab another
FreeBSD machine and build a router on it. Even a P100 can easily keep
up with DSL, Cable Modem, or T1 speeds. ISDN or analog modems are no
problem, as long as you get good serial ports.
