I have a Firewall with quite some filtering that has a throughput of
about 7MB/sec. It is a P-90 in a HX board with 32 MB and two fxp
cards, so you definitivly don't need ninja macho pentium for this task
(better give it to me :-).
The thing is bootet from floppy and is a pure filtering router, no
NAT, no applications/server, no proxies (which is suicide on a
firewall anyway).
