FC4 as business-class router

[Nick Geovanis <n-geovanis@northwestern.edu>]

It's perhaps on the low-end of what you'd like, but I've had good
experience with floppyfw on a smaller scale. Its authors use it for PC
labs of a few-hundred machines. The gimmick is that it runs from  RAM in
its entirety; it makes no use of a hard-drive. Boot it from RO floppy, CD
or DVD depending on how many additional packages you feel you need.
Performs NAT, masquerade, filtering, traffic-shaping; configured through a
simplified parameter file. Doesn't need a console but can handle serial
console or text-mode VGA.
