What I have found is that 486 will handle a static or dynamic dsl line up to 1meg just fine.  But when using PPPoE I would recommend a Pentium at the bare minimum.  I am currently using a Cyrix 486DLC-40 with a PPPoE adsl line and it limits me to about 538kbps.  But when I put my 400 mhz Pentium II in as the router the download speed jumped to 1.2mbps.

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.
