I have FreeBSD 2.2.5 running on an old Compaq 486/33 with a 250MB IDE hard drive that provides a PPP connection with 56K modem to support 5 user stations in a small-town public library. It isn't pretty (or fast) but it serves (pardon the pun) the purpose and fits the budget. I compiled a custom kernel to eliminate stuff I didn't need and use ijppp. One of these days I should recompile the kernel and add a firewall but it works so well now I hate to mess with it!
