Hello
  It surely is! While I have mentioned before how solid and amazingly
secure my homemade hardware router/firewall is ( built from an old classic
pentium system running Freesco - a slackware linux based Cisco
"clone" that can even run from a floppy only system ) I did not
mention how versatile it is.  It works excellently with dialup, in fact
almost any networking device at all, even a null modem cable between serial
or parallel ports, and obviously the normal ethernet interface.  It will
run nicely on a 486 making it possible for pawnshop notebooks to be usable
for a cheap as well as space saving alternative that gives you more
features, configurability, security, etc etc than most $100 commercial
routers.  It is incredibly user friendly, simple to setup as well as
control on-the-fly througf a handy webpage interface, either command line
or graphic.  Plus, it is regularly updated and always free.
