CPU clockrate is not normally the limiting factor for raw transfer
speed... card chipset and bus type (ISA/PCI) are more
important. Nevertheless, I can say that my ISA-based 486DX2-66 box with
NE2000-compatible cards handles my 384kbps static ADSL line just fine.
One case where I have found CPU clock rate to be important is running
PPPoE, and I estimated that a 486DX2-50 ought to be enough for a 350kbps
ADSL line, but a 386DX-40 was underpowered.
