If you have LRP, so what's the problem? All you need is to set it up.
I have a router machine which is a 486/8MHz running Linux that I
downloaded from www.linuxrouter.org.
The setup is pretty simple; you need to download the kernel from the
site, download the modules (according to the NICs you have), put the
image on a floppy, and then boot the machine. root login will lead you
to the lrcfg (a menu-based program for configuring the router); using
the program you can set what modules to load, the IP addresses, etc.
Don't forget to "back-up" the system; meaning, putting everything back
to the floppy.
