If you're going to use an old 'junk' system for the gateway, I'd
suggest using SmoothWall on it.
www.smoothwall.org
This is a small (~20Mb) masquerading firewall distro featuring very
easy to use browser management from the protected interface. Will
easily run on that old 486/33 with a 200Mb disk sitting in your
garage. :)
See the web site for details.
