If you have an old computer with a couple network cards (I use an old P90 with 32mb's of ram and 512mb HD) - you can create a router for peanuts. Toss your favorite minimalist distro on the system, and packet filterer/NAT/Firewall rules and voila - home made router.
I recommend NetBSD, but if you are looking for a prepackaged router configuration (based on the 2.2.x kernel with Ipsec/VPN support with a web based configuration interface you might look at something like IPCOP (think it can be found on sourceforge). You could always dump a redhat install on the box and turn it into a router easily as well.
