I ran my DSL connection through a 100MHz 486 with 32MB RAM, 120MB hard drive 
and ISA 10MB network cards.  Worked great for 2+ years.  I gave it away as a 
door prize at a Devel meeting some months ago when I upgraded to 400MHz P2.

For just filtering packets and doing NAT for the internal network, low power 
is plenty of power.
