 The author seems fairly sure that a 486 should be able to keep up
 with a 100mbit/s link. I'd go one step further and use the following
 configuration so I know it would be there if it was needed:

               o) old pentium of some sort (P90/100)
               o) 32-64mb ram
               o) Large disk to cope with logs (pref SCSI or ATA100)
               o) Decent, trusted 100mbit/s NIC
