Deaf ears I'm afraid Mr. Morgan.

Either FreeBSD which inhabits the group you've spammed here, or Linux
will do all this - and much much more - for Free!

I've used FreeBSD on a 486SX-25 to do just what you describe here.
FreeBSD also supports a much wider range of internet services:

  o FTP server
  o HTTP server
  o HTTP Proxy Server
  o Mailing list server

  And Much Much more...

As a Firewall, FreeBSD provides far superior capabilities, including

  o Socks
  o TIS Firewall Toolkit
  o Kernel Firewall bits
  o Network Address Translation
  o You can also run DEC's AltaVista Tunnel for secure remote
    access that really works.

As a router, FreeBSD will beat almost anything except purpose
built router hardware, much of which actually runs BSD anyway.

To read more about FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD web page:

    http://www.freebsd.com

Incidemtally, my bet is that your product is probably already just
*BSD with some spiffy set-up screens.  If so, THATS GREAT!  We all
really want to hear about it.  But we won't pay you money for it.
