With an OpenBSD firewall, all you need is an old 486, install two nics in the computer and OpenBSD as the firewall software. Hook up a hub of any size.
With OpenBSD you can have as many computers hooked up to the Internet as you want....with only 1 IP address to the outside world.
A rock solid secure system, and you won't even know you are behind a firewall, your computer will run just like it did with a dial-up connection, all your software (ICQ, JAVA, Napster, etc) works fine with the outside world, but the difference is your systems are secure.
OpenBSD runs on most platforms, PC, MAC, UNIX, etc.
