Do you think it it might save me some bandwith on frequently usesd pages by using squid.
Yes. If the squid is only for your personal use you might want to tune the refresh pattern extremely. Squid may then serve sometimes stale content, but if you are the only one using it...

I want to configure an old Desktop PC i586 90 Mhz 32 MB RAM 600 MB on /dev/hda
200 on /dev/hdb as an ISDN-router with limited mailservice and web cache ( I hope this is not too much for granpa ;-) )


You might want to try fli4l, this is a very small floppy-distro, but it can boot from hdd as well. Dont know about mail, it is actually a linux based router, but there are prebuild squid packages available as well as samba, printspooler and other stuff.

Get some RAM. 32MB PS2-modules or smaller are dead cheap at ebay.

Does anyone know how to setup an on-demand-dialin-service for ippp devices?

man isdnctrl - search for dialmode
It depends on the distro how the ippp is setup at boot.
