I think you should use the distro you're well with and you know the
well. I'd use a 8.0 slackware because it's the lightest one, with a
2.4.18 recompiled kernel. Slackware uses 2.4.5 kernel, but it has the
ptrace vuln so... Use iptables as firewall.
For net card, realteks chipset are supported, as 3com and many more
For the modem, any USB modem would fit I think
