dsl and the confusedness the howto brings about various protocols

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi guys,
	This is an interesting uestion/suggestion...

	I have an old '386 sx 20MHz w/ only 4MB of R
AM. Is this enough machine to act as a gateway/firewall between either a DSL connection of a Cable connection running DHCP?

	If not, what would be the minimum machine required to act in this capacity? Or, alternatively, what is the cost/capabiliyt  of the dedicated router that Kirk is talking about?
