routers that are accessible

[Alex Snow]

you're probably gonna find that replacing that box with a router is 
more like a downgrade. Most consumer routers don't have any advanced 
features, the firewalls are either not configurable or very basic, and 
a lot of times they only have a web-based interface that relies 
heavily on javascript.
The speed of a p133 shouldn't be a problem for routing, I've worked on 
one that serves aprox. 20 computers and it keeps up with the demand 
fine.
If you experience slowness, make sure all the NICs are 100mb, and make 
sure you have at least 64mb ram. the parts for machines of that era 
are usually easy to find and extremely cheap (I have boxes of parts 
from machines of that era all obtained from stuff being dumped).

Then howcome people can sell Microsoft software and go unpunished?
