I also have to recommend this one... I'd been running SW on a Pentium II 300 w/ 128MB RAM, WAY overkill for Smoothie. Friend of mine was throwing out a Pentium 90 system with 32MB, and looked at me very funny when I begged her to give it to me instead of throw it out ;-) It's a great way to recycle old systems, although I wouldn't recommend going below a 75MHz. The most expensive part of your router will probably be the two network cards.
