You don't need to sell me on FreeBSD as a gateway/nat machine. I've got that
at home already, that with just a 386/16 and 8 megs of RAM. It keeps up with
cablemodem just fine.

The problem is we're required to use all Microsoft products. This one's out
of my hands.

I just have replaced a wingate machine with a 486 running FreeBSD
3.2-STABLE. The client likes it more due to the fact that control to
that machine from the outside world can be set anyway at anytime to
either allow an outsider in or to close a port that does not need to be
accessed from the outside. Plus the license is alot cheaper.

  Machine Configuration:
   486 DX2-66 16Megs of RAM
   540 and 850 HD
   Running DHCP, XNTPD, DNS <cache only>

With a FreeBSD doing the chore it would be awhole lot easier to try and
get a tunnel going.
