I have a 486/33 16MB OpenBSD IPFilter/NAT box. Installed with 1 floppy and ftp onto < 100MB disk space. Everything but /var mounted ro. 3c509 PNP ether and 56k v9.0 ISA internal modem. OpenBSD's ppp tool has built in NAT and packet filter, as well as port redirection. It also supports mutilink and pppoe and a lot of other stuff. Read more about it at: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ppp I only had to edit 6 files after the install to set it up as my router, and 3 of those were changing a 0 to a 1.

I kind of like to be able to use perl to parse my logs and send me mail if anything funny is going on. It's also nice to be able to ssh to it, but that's just my opinion. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a disk, at least for logging purposes?
