I am very happy with IPCOP. I use it at home with Asterisk on the
inside, and we use it to protect our Corporate Asterisk Server from its
dedicated T1.
Depending on the amount of traffic you are planing on passing, I would
bet an older PIII with 128 of RAM, and a 2 GB Harddisk will do very nicely.

I can vouch for pfsense, I used it for awhile before switching to smoothwall
Express (www.*smoothwall*.org/) if you want something with more in that
family then there is the corporate version (www.*smoothwall*.org) you can
pickup any cheap pc, I am using a basic P4 system with 4 nics one for a
separate wireless network.
It takes lest that 15 mins to setup and the only really work is putting the
network cards in.

Hi John,
As Duane pointed out, check the Linksys WRTSL54GS.
It has a Broadcom CPU BCM4704/264 MHz with 32M RAM.
If you load dd-wrt on it, under Administration -> Management -> IP
Filter Settings you can set the number of connections and the timeout
for each type of connection (UDP/TCP).
Also, it comes with several settings for QoS.
If you need more than this, you can ask for support from dd-wrt.
ASUS has a similar device.

Good would be a device which can handle multiple (around 15) UDP SIP

SIP registration tracking is more of an issue with proxy they register
with. Registrations are only a couple of packets per phone per 2-3
minutes.
I'm amazed at how many devices, even expensive high-end ones, can not
do
UDP NAT properly.
This is usually a settings thing, and you can mostly get round it by
increasing the UDP connection tracking times or by lowering the
re-register times, usually setting it below 60 seconds is enough.
This device should handle an office of up to 15 people with both
computers and phones.
You can often trade off tcp connection tracking times and increase UDP
no problem at all.
Other than that we do not require any special features though QOS
support would be nice bonus but not required.
QoS is ok, but isn't "great" unless both ends support it properly.
You could get a WRT54GL and then upload one of the 3rd party firmwards,
not 100% off the shelf so would probably fail your requirements, but
they can be one of the most powerful off the shelf devices you can get
your hands on, and they are below 100$.
There are similar devices to the WRT54GLs that have faster CPUs, USB
ports for mass storage etc.
Maybe the ASUS variant off the shelf might do, although I haven't used
them so no idea how configurable/useful they are.
Some links you might find useful.
