I have a router machine which is a 486/8MHz running Linux that I downloaded from www.linuxrouter.org. The setup is pretty simple; you need to download the kernel from the site, download the modules (according to the NICs you have), put the image on a floppy, and then boot the machine. root login will lead you to the lrcfg (a menu-based program for configuring the router); using the program you can set what modules to load, the IP addresses, etc. Don't forget to back-up the system; meaning, putting everything back to the floppy.
