HI:
I have set up iptables firewalls for several personal LAN's with
anywhere from 2 to 10 computers on them. Some were on ADSL and
some were on ADSL. I have used Pentium 100's with 48 MB of 72 pin
Ram to 486DX2-100 with 48 MB of 72 pin Ram, and even a 486DX2-66
with 24 MB of RAM. The last one I have a web server running on it, and
is fire walling a real time video server. I have not seen any problems with
speed and response time as of yet. I think the biggest issue would be a
memory problem when a lot of connections are open at the same time.
I am sure there is someone on the list far more qualified to comment.
Stu.........

I can't speak for non x86 processors, but I have mine running on a Pentium
60 mhz with 64MB ram....runs pretty well although I personally wouldn't
consider going with anything less.
