For something that simple just pickup a linksys wrt54GS ver 4 or lower
on ebay (or Asus, Belkin, etc...),load openWRT on it, and leave anything
beyond fw/Nat-router to another system.
Less power consumption, space, headaches.

I've put together some hdw for a new machine (machx). The intent of this
machine is to sit between a dsl router (old) and my lan switch. I do not yet
know what this machine would be, but I do know what I expect it to do.
I want it to be a hdw firewall for my lan AND be a "gateway" or maybe
a "proxy" to the dsl router from my lan-side machines.
