Subject:   FBSD on 386 acting as a router?

I just found out that they are giving away old 386's at my school tomorrow.

I don't know anything about them, other than that they are 386's (and have a  
monitor/keyboard/hard drive).

a) how likely is it that I could actually get this machine to install FreeBSD?

b) could it handle being a router/firewall to a two-machine lan (behind a  
cable modem)?

If this were a 486 I'd be relatively comfortable of my chances.....

ps -- how much HD space do I need for a basic system (commandline, no X  
stuff) to handle NATD?

Thanks for any help at all....
