The only real problem with using this old beastie as a firewall is that
it probably pulls somewhere around 200 watts of power, so you could save
a ton of money very quickly by simply purchasing an ARM or ATOM based
computer at full price and using that for a firewall. It should pay for
itself in around 6 months via it's greatly reduced power usage.

A PIII 80 Mhz eh? thats a good firewall box.<smile> I have one even
older than that still operating here (PII 400Mhz 256 MB ram using
openbsd 4.1). with over 1.5K days in operation, its been very
reliable. so? if anyone wants a firewall box setup using that old
server, I can put the OS in place and setup PF for them.
