That's what I use mine for, just add the cards, add the various ethxx entries to network.conf add the necessery subnets( because it is not a hub but a full fledged router). Don't forget the dhcpd process. It has to service all the subnets/interfaces. I have a cable modem uplink which works just like a bridge, while you probably have PPPoE uplink, but this makes no big difference. My set up is a an old Dell with a 3C509 on board, 2 3C905 on the ISA bus and a realtek based ne200 clone on PCI. It works fine off single floppy with 32 MB Memory.
