I've done something similar in the past with a 386DX33 with 3 dialin
clients and 1 dialout + ethernet.  We had 16M of RAM, however.  The 8M
should be enough, especially with FreeBSD 3.5

: If yes, what flavour of PicoBSD is recommended?

I'd be tempted to use the Picobsd from 3.5 in the dialin
configuration.  4.x is heavier weight.

You might also want to consider a stripped down FreeSBD on compact
flash + IDE adapter since CF is a lot more reliable than floppies.
However, I suspect that this is expensive still in russia.
