That was going to be my suggestion, it also supports multiple gateway
failover (if you lucky enough to have two or more ISP's). Very simple to
configure, and very reliable. In addition it can be installed and run
off either USB or compact flash for that router type experience.

We currently have an ipcop box serving as gateway but this can be
changed to a more fully fledged linux distro.
Will read up on pools in squid, ebox and the bandwidth-limiting howto.
These seem the most cost effective for the equipment I already have.
Thank you,

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
