Hellow Sven... I dont think u can run FreeBSD @ a Macintosh box, not supported... FreeBSD has plain support to adsl... :) You can read about ipfw, natd, ipfilter and other good stuff about freebsd's firewall, this might be a bood reading on the begin, many articles about firewalling under freebsd can be found, from the freebsd handbook (@ freebsd.org) to other info sites, like bsdtoday.com, freebsddiary.org... u could search for something @ bsdsearch.com and... off course u can run freebsd on a 486.... We have a testing and 'destroyable' server running freebsd 4.1.1-STABLE, on a 486, 20MB RAM, 2GB SCSI @ my university... it's running pretty well... we have since email and ftp services to DNS... and when we migrated our main server to FreeBSD this one was the server responsible for resolving all the university DNS requests and external clients... and it did it! ]:) FreeBSD is the best OS u can find... and mostly questions on if freebsd can do something or not, u'll have YEAP as answer..
