Yes. Pentium 200 w/ 3 nic's, running FreeBSD 4.8, IPFW and natd.

You already have the Free box there, just read the man pages for ipfw and
natd and you can avoid purchasing anything. Just as a note, I recently
replaced a friends Linksys gateway with a FBSD box and we saw a large
performance gain on his ADSL connection.
