I've just put one in today for a client, together with IPSec VPN.
Demand dial - pppd
Masquerade - ipchains
Stats - webalizer (never used it myself) or rrdtool (round robin database
with graphing
Proxy/cache/ACL - squid (you can block banner ads also)
GUI - webmin (browser based and brilliant)
Who needs NT?
