That's what I do with my home LAN. I set up an old 486 (which I had
lying around doing nothing anyway) with two Ethernet cards and Linux on
the hard drive. I use the built-in IPCHAINS facility to set up firewall
rules. It's not terribly fast, but fast enough to do line-rate at the
speed of my 256K SDSL line.
